Church of God in Christ

June 14th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

Being the largest predominantly African-American Pentecostal denomination in the United States of America, the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) has experienced exceptional growth since it was founded in 1907 by Bishop Charles Harrison Mason who had severed ties with the Baptist church he had formerly belonged to.

Today, it has an estimated 8 million members all over the world and is still headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. The doctrines of Church of God in Christ place emphasis on the reliable authority of the Bible, Trinitarian, repentance, conversion, salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, baptism of the Holy Spirit, the Lord’s Supper or the Holy Communion, and the Ordinance of Humility through foot washing. Moreover, the Church practices divine healing but not to the point of condemning medical supervision.
