On behalf of The Church of God in the Northwestern United States, I would like to welcome each of you to the Official, Northwest Regional Web Site of The Church of God. We are delighted that you have taken the time to visit us on the World Wide Web and pray that you will share this site with your friends and family.  It is truly our desire to share the good news of Christ and to be a light in a world filled with sin and darkness.  I encourage you to browse through the information that we have made available and pray it will be a blessing. The Church of God is fully committed to "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord." (Hebrews 12:14)  Every member has covenanted to accept the Bible as the word of God and to believe and practice its teachings rightly divided.  We embrace the New Testament as our rule of faith, practice, government, and discipline. It is our desire to share the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ who purchased His Church through the blood He shed on the cross (Acts 20:28).  He has preserved it to this day and will soon perfect it and present it to Himself as "a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or an such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). If you are ever in our area, we invite you to come and worship with us. Bishop Ray D. Adams Regional Overseer, Northwest Region The Church of God
