Thinking about opening a Church Of God church? We tell you what you need to know to get started.
Background of the Church of God
The Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) is one of the oldest and largest Pentecostal denominations in the world. Birthed out of the Holiness-Pentecostal movement of the early 20th century, the Church of God is represented in more than 150 countries and has a global membership of 6 million followers.
Like other charismatic and Pentecostal churches, the Church of God believes that the gifts of the Holy Spirit described throughout the New Testament continue to be active today. As a result, Church of God congregations routinely incorporate prophecy, healing prayer and glossolalia into their worship services.
The Church of God is fertile ground for religious entrepreneurs since the denomination is highly committed to church planting efforts in the U.S. and around the world. Although it isn't mandatory, many church planters emerge from Lee University and Patten University which are operated by the Church of God denomination.
Multimedia Projectors: Essential Equipment for Church of God Ministries
The Church of God is known for its exuberant worship music. In contemporary church culture, hymnals are out and multimedia projectors are de rigueur for even the smallest Church of God congregations.
Church of God church planters need to prioritize the purchase or lease of a multimedia projector in their startup budgets. There are an overwhelming number of projectors in the marketplace, so you'll need to perform research on multimedia projector basics to select the projector that meets your current and future needs.
