Who We Are & What We Believe

Where We Came From

Where We Are Going

Eastland Church of God has a rich and wonderful heritage.  The church began in 1948 as a few Christians committed to the Biblical message of holiness, Christian unity, and evangelism.  In 1964 after meeting in houses and other church buildings, we became the Eastland Parkway Church of God when our location moved to Eastland Parkway.  After moving to our current location in the early 1980s, we shortened it to Eastland Church of God. 
Eastland Exists to Connect People to Jesus.

God

We believe in one God who reveals himself in three persons Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who created all things visible and invisible, and out of chaos created order. Each person of the Trinity serves a unique role to bring God glory and accomplish his purposes in the world.
Gen 1:26; 2 Cor 13:14

Salvation

We believe that the death of Jesus Christ on the cross provides the sole basis by which humans can have a relationship with God. God freely offers salvation to those who place their faith in the death and resurrection of Christ as sufficient payment for and forgiveness of their sin.
John 1:12-13; John 3:16; John 11:25-26; Romans 6:23

The Bible 

We are a people of the Bible—the Old and New Testaments, supernaturally inspired, preserved across time, cultures, and continents, delivered to us, useful for reproof and instruction, for righteousness. The Bible is the authoritative source by which God guides people as they go through their daily lives.
2 Tim 3:14–17; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Psalm 119:105

Humanity

We believe that all people were created in the image of God to live in relationship with Him but became alienated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:8-10

Vision

Eastland Exists to
Connect People to Jesus

We believe that God calls us to grow closer to him through the power and work of the Holy Spirit.
"The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you"
John 14:26
We recognize God's command through Jesus Christ to make disciples of all nations.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20
