The (Original) Church of God is a Holiness Pentecostal Christian denomination located mostly in the Southeastern United States.
Five ordinances are recognized: baptism by immersion, biblical church government, the Lord's Supper, feet washing 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.
The (Original) Church of God is governed by a Board of Bishops and led by a General Overseer.
The (Original) Church of God owns a campground in Van Leer, Tennessee and publishes a bi-monthly magazine called The Messenger.
