We Are...
a regional association of congregations affiliated with the Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) serving congregations located in Northern California, Northern Nevada and Hawaii.
If you are not familiar with the Church of God and its teachings, in words from our North American website, we would ...
"ask you to meet us at the cross, for we believe that the cross is the starting point for each Christian. It is there that we come face-to-face with the overwhelming love of God that prompted the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As Paul put it, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8, niv).
The path of every believer meets and proceeds from the cross. There the price for our sins was completely, wonderfully paid. For each of us, faith's journey begins at the foot of that rugged, ancient symbol of redemption.
Beginning in the 1880's and stretching into the present day, congregations of the Church of God strive to be a movement of God's people whose focus in their mission to carry out the Great Commission is on the unity of all believers and the centrality of the Bible as our creed. To take a deeper look we invite you to visit the North American website of the Church of God, or better yet, visit one of our congregations in your area.
