There are hundreds of churches in the Michiana area that you could choose from. Some larger than ours, some more modern than ours, and some more cutting edge than ours. That's okay with us because that's not what we are trying to be. At Michiana Community Church of God the only thing we are trying to be is...REAL!

We don't dress like people we aren't and we don't act like people we aren't. At our church we love God and each other, no strings or expectations attached. If you're a blue jean kinda person then wear blue jeans. If you feel more comfortable in a suit and tie then wear a suit and tie. Just know that we want to love God and everything and everyone that He loves.

Come join us. But if not us please attend somewhere so God's people can love on you awhile.

The Church of God (Anderson, IN) began in 1881 when Daniel S. Warner and several associates felt constrained to forsake all denominational hierarchies and formal creeds, trusting solely in the Holy Spirit as their overseer and the Bible as their statement of belief. These people saw themselves at the forefront of a movement to restore unity and holiness to the church, not to establish another denomination but to promote primary allegiance to Jesus Christ so as to transcend denominational loyalties.

Deeply influenced by Wesleyan theology and Pietism, the Church of God emphasizes a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and a strong stand on The Bible as the Inspired Word of God. Worship services tend to be informal, accentuating preaching and heart-felt worship.

The Church of God has a very simple view of Church membership. If Jesus is your Lord and Savior, then you are a member of the Body of Christ (the Church). Becoming a part of a local congregation is simply a matter of you deciding to make, in this case Michiana Community Church of God, your church home and expressing your desire to get involved. The absence of formal membership is a reflection of the church's understanding of how Christian unity is to be achieved-that is, by preferring the label Christian before all others.

The Church of God is a congregational in its government. Each local congregation is autonomous and may call any recognized Church of God minister to be its pastor and may retain him or her as long as is mutually pleasing.

Ministers are ordained and held accountable by state or provincial assemblies made up predominantly of ministers. National program boards serve the church through coordinated ministries and resource materials.

There are Church of God congregations in 85 foreign countries, most of which are resourced by one or more missionaries. There are slightly more Church of God adherents overseas than in North America. The heaviest concentration overseas is in the nation of Kenya.
