DOCTRINE AND POLITY PAPERS

The Church of God Doctrine and Polity Committee is a group appointed by the International Executive Committee in the early 1990s consisting of ministers, university and seminary professors, and theologians. The group is engaged in continual examination and dialogue of cultural issues as it relates to Church of God beliefs, core values, and Practical Commitments. The D&P Committee has undertaken the task of addressing some of the most pertinent and frequently-asked questions of today and are releasing their research over the course of several months. Each issue has been scripturally vetted and presented for clarification of the current Church of God polity stance.

Each polity paper is presented alphabetically by title, in English and Spanish, and may be downloaded for presentation purposes.
