The Christian Biblical Church of God was established in 1983 by a small group of seven true believers and one minister, Fred R. Coulter, when they separated themselves from another Church of God organization that had embraced non-scriptural beliefs and practices. The CBCG has since grown to minister to thousands of brethren in various fellowship groups and small congregations—as well as to thousands of scattered believers around the world. In fact, over four million distinct users from around the world visited the CBCG's websites in 2021—utilizing the sites to assist them in their Christian lives and studies.
The name Christian Biblical Church of God is descriptive of our beliefs and practices:
Christian: We believe and practice the teachings of Jesus Christ as found in the New Testament—as we are to live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. We are instructed by Jesus to love the Lord God with all our heart, all our soul, and with all our mind; we are to love our neighbors as ourselves; we are to love each other as Jesus loved us; and we are to love our enemies. Each individual Christian is to develop a relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ through a life of loving obedience and daily prayer and Bible study. We believe that a true Christian's faith should be relevant—that their walk with God should provide real solutions to everyday problems and positively impact those around them.
Biblical: We believe the Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, is the complete Word of God—and that there is a profound Unity of Scripture that exists between the Old and New Testaments. God directly inspired His chosen servants by the power of His Holy spirit to record the Scriptures for all mankind. The Bible is the very foundation of knowledge, imparting the understanding of salvation through Jesus Christ and showing mankind how to live God's way of life in both the letter and spirit of His Law. True Christianity is based on the entire Word of God as it applies to the individual Christian and to the Church.
All teachings of the Christian Biblical Church of God come directly from the Scriptures and are not derived from traditions of men. We genuinely believe in the original Protestant declaration, Solo Scriptura—"the Scriptures only"!
In order to facilitate the believer's study of the Scriptures, the CBCG has produced hundreds of audio and video studies, dozens of booklets and articles, and a number of full-length books—all freely available through our websites. For a compete list of the study materials we offer, please download our catalog. We have also published a one-of-a-kind Bible designed to make the study of the Scriptures easier and more meaningful (see link below).
Church: As portrayed in the Scriptures, the Church of God is the spiritual Body of Jesus Christ—the collective body of true, converted believers, wherever they may be in the world, scattered or affiliated with various churches of God. God the Father has appointed Jesus Christ to be Head of His Church. While there are ordained elders and leaders to teach the brethren and to oversee the affairs of the Church, no man is the head of the Church of God—only Jesus Christ.
The CBCG has no ministerial hierarchy, but recognizes elders who are chosen by local congregations that support this work of preaching and publishing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and feeding the flock of God. The Christian Biblical Church of God is headquartered in Hollister, California, and maintains offices in England/Netherlands, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa. Office addresses may be found on the Contact Us page of this website.
Of God: Jesus said that His true Church—made up of those true believers who have the Holy Spirit of God—would be kept in the name of God the Father. Therefore, the CBCG is called a church "of God."
