Our COGIC Foundation
The Church of God in Christ, Inc. (COGIC) is a Christian organization in the Holiness-Pentecostal tradition. It is the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States. Its membership is predominantly African American, with over 6.5 million members. The church has congregations in 105 countries worldwide.
The Four Pillars of Our Jurisdiction

Doctrine
Every pastor and church must be committed to teaching, defending, and living the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Our Doctrine is the backbone of the church. It defines what we believe about God, salvation, holiness, and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Evangelism
Every church must be a soul-winning church. Evangelism is not optional; it is the heartbeat of God.
The Great Commission is still our great command. France may be a secular nation, but the gospel still saves. Evangelism revives our churches and keeps us outward-focused rather than inward-satisfied.

Education
Invest in spiritual and practical learning for both leaders and members.
Education strengthens understanding and prepares the saints for service. We are called not only to shout but also to study.

Stewardship
Teach and model faithful stewardship of time, talent, and treasure.
Everything we have belongs to God. Stewardship is not just about giving money; it’s about managing life with integrity and gratitude.
