You're Among Family at Northwoods Church of God
The church in our day has become many things to many people but we need to focus our minds upon what Christ has called His church to be. There are many models in the New Testament that speak to the identity of the church: the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, the temple of God, and others. But a most revealing model of the church comes from the Apostle Peter: But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy(1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB). "You are the people of God." We come together to worship God who has called us from various families, backgrounds, and races to become His special people. What a privilege! As you look at the faces of those assembled in this congregation be reminded that each person is a part of a larger family, the people of God. So let us worship together, let us pray together, let us laugh together and let us weep together. But most important of all, let us be together as the people of God!
CHURCH OF GOD DECLARATION OF FAITH
We believe: 1. In the verbal inspiration of the Bible. 2. In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 3. That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead. That He ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor. 4. That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins. 5. That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. 6. In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ; through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost. 7. Holiness to be God's standard of living for His people. 8. In the baptism with the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart. 9. In speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance and that it is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. 10. In water baptism by immersion, and all who repent should be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 11. Divine healing is provided for all in the atonement. 12. In the Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet. 13. In the premillennial second coming of Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous dead and to catch away the living saints to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years. 14. In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for the righteous, and eternal punishment for the wicked.
