Did you ever hear of a church that traces its roots back to 28 A.D.? Here at the Church of God in Charleston, that’s precisely the claim. This Church of God asserts its origins lie with Jesus Christ himself, established on Mount Kurn Hattin. The story goes that it thrived until the Nicene Creed in 325 A.D. plunged it into the Dark Ages. The Church of God believes that it reemerged from obscurity on June 13, 1903, in North Carolina, fulfilling a prophecy from Isaiah 60:1-5. However, the journey wasn’t smooth. A disruption in 1923 caused a split, resulting in two groups, both claiming the name “Church of God.” In 1933, the Church of God received its banner, a symbol of its identity and beliefs. Another turning point arrived in 1952 when “of Prophecy” was added to the name, becoming the Church of God of Prophecy. Further divisions arose in 1990, leading to a Solemn Assembly in 1993. This assembly reaffirmed the Church of God’s identity, distinct from the Church of God of Prophecy, with Robert J. Pruitt as General Overseer. The Church of God maintains a unique postal address: a P.O. Box in Charleston, Tennessee, despite its headquarters being in Cleveland, Tennessee. This distinction helps avoid confusion with other similarly named organizations. This Church of God believes itself to be the true and exclusive Body of Christ, emphasizing its theocratic government and adherence to its interpretation of biblical principles. Standing here, you’re witnessing a piece of this complex and fascinating history.
