NCOG HISTORY

WE BELIEVE:

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.
In one God eternally existing in three persons; namely the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
That Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy Ghost, and born to the Virigin Mary. Tha Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead; that ascended to heaven and is today at the right hand of the Father as the Intercessor.
That all have sinned and come short of the glory of God and that repentance is commanded of God for all and necessary for forgiveness of sins.
That justification, regeneration, and the new birth are wrought by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ.
In sanctification subsequent to the new birth, through faith in the blood of Christ: through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God's standard of living for his people.
In the baptism of the Holy Ghost subsequent to a clean heart.
In speaking wih other tongues as the spirit give utterance, and that it is the initial evidence of he baptism of the Holy Ghost.
In water baptism by immersion, and all that repent should be baptized in the name of Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Diving healing is provided for all in he atonement.
In he Lord's Supper and washing of the saints' feet.
In the premillennial Second Coming of Jesus. First, to ressurrect air.

Second, to reign on the earth a thousand years.
14. In bodily resurrection; eternal life for righteous and eternal punishment for the wicked.

We are blessed to have pure leadership from our founding fathers: Bishop J B Ferguson, Bishop J H Woodside, Bishop Lennard Josey and Bishop H L Cartwright. This great organization began it's growth at 211 NW 5th Avenue in 1967,and continued its growth through the years moving by faith and trusting in God. In April 30, 1972 we dedicated the current headquarter's building unto God for the building of this kingdom. The building is located at 977 NW 17th Avenue, in the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The headquarters is the meeting ground for the annual General Assembly as well as other national events.

The National Church of God had its beginning in July of 1967; since that time it has been under the observation of many. Figuratively speaking, we have watched it develop from a small tender bud to a tree planted by the waters. The process of growth became sure, the tree began to push skyward toward the mark of maturity and the fulfillment of the divine will of God. Each upward grade making the National Church of God the church of the hour,

ready and willing to meet the challenges of the world and the command of Christ. Not only reaching upward but her roots pressing downward proving stability, soundness and new sources of power and strength. It was this press that kept her during the winds and storms of adversities which threatened disaster and seemingly once apparent uprooting.

In 1974, the National Church of God Child Care Center was open for business. The child care center offered christian care and guidance to the youth of the community. The ages of the youth ranged from 2 years old to 5 years old. Currently the child care center is being revamped and is currently closed, however the legacy of the center still lives today.
