Participation in the Final Global Ministry Forums Encouraged

Participation in Final Forums Encouraged

CLEVELAND, TN:  As October begins, only five Global Ministry Forums are left to be conducted. Ministers and laity who have not previously attended a forum are encouraged to participate in one of the remaining forums.

“Every person who has not already attended a forum and who is interested in the future of the Church of God should try to attend one of the last few forums,” noted Dr. Timothy M. Hill, General Overseer of the Church of God. “Without all the rules that limit what can be discussed at meetings like the General Assembly, these forums have been an open and honest discussion about the issues. So don’t miss these final few opportunities to be heard.”

On Tuesday evening, Oct. 1, a forum will be held in the Pacific Northwest at New Life Fellowship Church in Longview, WA and then on Thursday, Oct. 3, another forum will occur at the Church on Strayer in the Toledo, OH area. 

Those Global Ministry Forums will be followed by others in Hurst, TX (Oct. 15); Chicago, IL (Romanian Convention, Nov. 9); and Dasmarinas City, Philippines (Nov. 15).

The Global Ministry Forum survey will also close in mid-November. Everyone is encouraged to complete the survey, regardless of whether you are able to attend a forum.  More information on the remaining forums and the survey can be found at the Global Ministry Forums website by clicking or taping the button below.

Covid-19: Priority Report

The highly complicated, detailed, and strenuous process of coming to a decision to postpone the 78th International General Assembly because of the Covid-19 pandemic was a history-making event in the Church of God. It was the first time since World War II that the Assembly schedule was interrupted.

To preserve that history, a 28-page publication has been released which explores the process, timeline, historical precedence, and authority granted by the Minutes to arrive at the decision to postpone the July 2020 event to the summer of 2022. The report is available for download by visiting the link, churchofgodcommunications.com/priorityreport.

Declaration of Faith Sunday

Declaration of Faith Sunday

Dear Pastor:

The Declaration of Faith is one of the Church of God’s most cherished articles of doctrine. It defines who we are as a movement and has stood the test of time since it was written and adopted as the official expression of our faith during the 1948 General Assembly.

The first Sunday in January is observed as Declaration of Faith Sunday in the Church of God. Pastors are encouraged to read the 14 statements within and otherwise call attention to the importance of the Declaration of Faith. To assist in this, General Overseer Tim Hill has prepared a short video suitable for playing during service. We hope you will consider downloading it for viewing this Sunday, January 5, 2020.

May God bless you and your church in this year.

Ministerial Reports and Church Reports



View this email in your browser


TO:  All Ministers
FROM:  The Reverend Dr. Timothy M. Hill, General Overseer, Church of God
DATE:  February 28, 2018
SUBJECT:  Ministerial Reports and Church Reports


As we prepare for the upcoming 77th International General Assembly, I wanted to remind all ministers of the guidelines regarding eligibility for election or appointment as found in the Minutes:


S29. INSTRUCTIONS FOR MINISTER, Item 9 states:  In order for any minister to be considered eligible for election or appointment by the International Executive Committee, General Council or General Assembly, the minister must be current on both personal ministerial reports and the local church reports with required finances from the church he/she pastors (if applicable).  Any exceptions must be approved by the International Executive Committee.  Further, this same measure applies to state/regional positions and boards.  Any exception at the state/regional level must be approved by the state/regional overseer in writing (73rd A., 2010).


To be in compliance with the above provision, all reports – both personal and church – must be current by May 1, 2018.
 
The status of both minister’s and church reports can be verified online via the reporting section of the Church of God website at http://www.churchofgod.org/online-reporting.  If you report via the online portal, simply log in using your username and password.  If you report via mail, please call Melody Goodwin in the Business and Records Office at (423) 478-7151 to check your reporting status.
 
As a reminder, the 77th International General Assembly registration and housing information is available online at http://www.ga18.org.
