We are a branch of the Original Church of God located in Lynnville, Tennessee. Serving the community and our Lord Jesus Christ, for the glory of God!

The (Original) Church of God is a Holiness Pentecostal Christian denomination located mostly in the Southeastern United States. Its origins can be traced to a small meeting of Christians at the Barney Creek Meeting House in Monroe County, Tennessee in 1886. This church is often denominated the Church of God (Chattanooga, Tennessee) to distinguish it from other related Church of God bodies, but the church's designation for itself is The (Original) Church of God, Inc. Offices and a publishing house are located in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Pulaski, Tennessee.

History

The (Original) Church of God shares a common origin and history with the Church of God (Cleveland) and several other Christian bodies named Church of God. The (Original) Church of God, Inc. came into being in 1917, when the Church of God in Chattanooga, Tennessee, led by Joseph L. Scott, separated from the Cleveland-based church. This body's use of Original in parentheses reflects the belief that it is true to the original faith, purpose and practice of the Church of God movement. The church incorporated in 1922. Ridgedale Theological Seminary was founded in 1925.

Beliefs

These Ordinances are recognized: baptism by immersion, biblical church government, the Lord's Supper, and tithing. Other beliefs include the need for repentance, justification & regeneration for salvation, the teaching on sanctification, divine healing, and speaking in tongues as the evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Dress Code

Yes, we do have a standard for godly living, and a righteous life. For first time visitors, please be aware if it is too tight, too short, or too low, don't wear it to our fellowship. We believe that when God changes us on the inside, it will reflect on the outside in ALL that we do with dignity. This is not a "seeker sensitive Church," we are boldly training the saints for the honorable work of the Lord's vinyard, and we want to honor Him, in that work.
