What We Believe

Statement Of Faith

The following beliefs of the Tabernacle Church of God in Christ represent the basics of our faith. These are the things that we have learned from the Bible that are non-negotiable to our Christian walk with God. Take any one of these items away and the Christian faith is destroyed. Seek to understand these beliefs and read the scriptures given to understand what God is saying,

We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible written word of God
