The House of God Church, Cleveland, OH

FAITH AND DOCTRINE

WE BELIEVE IN FASTING. WE BELIEVE IN PRAYING. WE BELIEVE IN GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY GHOST. WE BELIEVE TO CEASE FROM YOUR OWN WORKS IS TO CEASE FROM SIN. WE BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION. WE BELIEVE IT IS RIGHT TO OBSERVE THE LORD'S SUPPER AND TO WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH IS THE WAITING OR PREPARING BRIDE OF CHRIST, AND WHEN SHE IS SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED AND MADE GLORIOUS WITHOUT SPOT OR WRINKLE CHRIST WILL CATCH HIS BRIDE AWAY TO THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHURCH HISTORY THE HOUSE OF GOD CHURCH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1903 BY MOTHER MARY L.
