THE NATURE OF THE CHURCH, Where do we get our idea of what the Church is to be? Do we get our views from what unbelievers expect of us? Do we get our ideas from what various religious commentators suggest? Are our concepts of what the Church is to be shaped by traditions? Or do we get our understanding of the Church from what God says? Whatever view we have in regard to the Church will shape how we relate to the present world. We must be sure that the traditional views that we have held are really those views which God sets forth....Our mission is to spread the gospel of Jesus and to establish and operate churches and printed and media outreaches. We establish churches on mission fields, in homes, in cities, and produce moral/spiritual teaching materials on CD/DVD and in published literature by Sunday School, Study Topics, Subjects on Biblical Doctrines, Life Series, etc. We provide a Bible College on line with a degree offered.

Churches of God in Christ, USA Official Manual Chief Apostle Bishop J. L. Payne     In the diversity of a modern minister's life in a so-called modern church, there is a constant need to understand the God who is not limited to man's limitations, neither his thinking. We stand at the threshold of a new era that has demanded an academic spiritual mind and activating spirituality must be a daily experience in the life of every true man of God. This Official Manuel of the Churches of God in Christ USA is here to help in our search for completion in the never ending task COGIC, USA Ministry. Although we are limited, yet our God is capable and able to equip us with His tools and authority to do His bidding among men and especially the household of faith. We, in the Churches of God in Christ, USA Inc. (COGIC, USA) serve the body of Christ through the 5-fold ministry leadership. This writing is an effort for us to address those procedures. The Psalmist says, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do" (Psalms 11:3)? The righteous demand a plan and order for existence. We are believers in our Lord's purpose, plan, and order for man. The Bible is our guide and map to God's foundation of ministry. The scriptures attest this in its entirely. We in the church sustain these facts by practicing its precepts, instructions, and rules based on the Apostolic's order and practice. We subscribe to the New Testament's church principles. Secondly, this writing is an ongoing text of the doctrines of this great fellowship - the COGIC, USA. We pray this presentation will serve as a catechism and guide to the development of your ministry and others you care about or are involved with. We invite all ministries to consider its use.
