Mayberry First Church of God

General information

We are a small church in rural Carroll county that offers that close-knit "family" feel that many people desire. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we serve a God that does. We endeavor to help our church family grow spiritually and be better equipped to take Jesus to the world. We hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to come and worship with us.

We are a church that belongs to the Churchs of God General Conferance denomination. The Churches of God, General Conference began in 1825 as a result of the labors, revivals, and ideas of John Winebrenner, a German Reformed pastor who ministered in and around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

During the late 1820's, Winebrenner came to new theological conclusions about the nature and government of the Church, the importance of the regenerating experience of the new birth, and the ordinances (Believer's Baptis m by immersion, Lord's Supper, and Feet Washing). He reaffirmed the belief that the Bible was the "only authoritative rule of faith and practice."

Churches of God General Conference is now based in Findlay, Ohio and is affiliated with Winebrenner Theological Seminary and The University of Findlay.
