on the Tennessee-North Carolina border in 1886. A group of eight
sincere Christians had a deep desire for a closer relationship
and life with Christ. They established a new church whose
objective would be to restore sound scriptural doctrines of the
Bible, encourage deeper consecration and promote evangelism and
Christian service. Twenty-one years after the formation of the
Christian Union that evening at the Barney Creek Meeting House,
the growing movement would establish themselves permanently as
the Church of God.
From this seemingly insignificant origin has grown one of the
most influential worldwide Pentecostal denominations. For nearly
120 years the Church of God has been a distinctive movement
focused upon communicating the gospel. Presently, the Church of
God has a world-wide membership of over 6 million with a
presence in nearly 150 countries. Leaders of the Church of God
are recognized as some of the most respected Pentecostal leaders
of today.
