11 What is Church About?
12 The chief purpose of the Apostolic Church of God is to glorify God, who has given us the highest revelation of Himself in the Person of Jesus Christ. In glorifying God, we enter into public worship services, seeking to give fitting expression to our profound and dedicated commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ,
13 who loved us and gave Himself for us. In our worship service we find a meaningful awareness of His presence with us, and we respond to this awareness with adoration and praise.
14 What is our Worship All about?
15 Our worship includes the preaching and teaching of the gospel concerning the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, So as to enlighten the conscience to the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, and to open the heart to the matchless grace of God.
16 In our service to Christ, we are to call sinners to repentance, lift the fallen, visit the sick, uplift and maintain the highest standards of morality, and urge all believers to seek a Spirit-filled life.
17 What is our Family All About?
18 It is essential that we nourish and cultivate the Christian lives of our parishioners; that we concern ourselves with giving aid and comfort to the poor, to work for better living conditions in society in general, and in our community in particular. In order to effectuate this purpose, the ministries and auxiliaries of the Apostolic Church of God were founded.
19 Why Do We Do This? Authority The Called Out Ones We ve been given a gift of great price Responsibility We are His disciples In Him we live, and in Him we die Accountability For those things done in our bodies
