WHAT TO EXPECT

Worship Style
Our church consists of people from various backgrounds and denominations who love Jesus.  Our services typically start with modern music followed by a bible based message with practical application.

How should I dress?
Casual dress is the norm. We live on the Island so don’t make any special arrangements. Simply relax.

Infants to Big Kids
At COLG we value children. On Sunday mornings, we have ministry designed for youngsters including nursery for infants to preschoolers and Children’s Church for kids.

Youth Alive
Focusing on teens 12 to 18, Youth Alive meets on Friday nights 7:00-8:30pm in the Upper Room at COLG.

What about giving?
As a guest, you will not be expected to give during our service. If COLG is your church home, we simply ask that you love and honor God with your resources and partner with us in the assignment God has given COLG to reach the Island and the nations.

Church of the Living God 
is non-denominational

COLG is not affiliated with a specific denomination. We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible word of God and it is the standard instruction for living life.

Pastoral Care

Welcome to Church of the Living God, where Jesus has a miracle for you.  We're glad you're interested in visiting our church.  You'll find that we preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in our Spirit-led, God-centered, Bible-based worship services. Our passion and pursuit is Jesus and experiencing His love and truth in our lives.  We love tourists, visitors and Island natives, and hope you join us, this Sunday.

what We BELIEVE

Holy Bible
1.  The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, our sole authority. 

2.  There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3.  The full humanity and full deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and lived a sinless life. We believe in His miracles, His atoning death for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His future return to Earth in power and glory to rapture His Church and to judge the world. 

4.  Mankind was created in the image of God, but man sinned and consequently experienced physical and spiritual death. As a result, all people are born in depravity, with a sinful nature, and apart from Jesus Christ.

5.  The shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for the salvation of man.

6.  The only means of being cleansed from sin and saved from eternal damnation is to be born again, through repentance and faith in the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ.

7.  Jesus Christ is the head of this church and we are His body to love and serve.

8.  Water baptism is a symbol of the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus and a witness to our faith in Jesus Christ.

9. Communion is an act of remembering what Jesus did for us on the cross.

10.  The supernatural of God is for today. This includes miracles, healing of the sick, and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
