Who we are

The Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) is a global movement of people seeking to fulfill God’s mission in the world. We’re committed to studying the Word of God and faithfully living it out. We’re committed to the mission that Jesus Christ gave every believer: to make disciples of all nations (Matt 28:18–20).

The Church of God movement appeared in the 1880s in the midst of the broader American Holiness Revival. The pioneers of the Church of God hoped to restore a more biblical understanding and practice of what it means to be the church. One of our early church songs says: “The Bible is our rule of faith and Christ alone is Lord.” This lyric still summarizes the core belief of Church of God people. We have not issued any official belief statement, and we have no formal creed. Yet, the following statements reflect the heart of the Church of God:

Salvation makes us members of God’s church. We believe that the church is composed of every person who has accepted Jesus Christ as Savior. We enter into the life of the church, not by joining a denomination or a human organization, but by committing our lives to Christ (John 3:1–7).

Christians are called to be one. We believe that God calls all followers of Christ to live in unity and peace, regardless of who they are or the church they attend (Gal 3:28). While we may not agree on everything, we can rally around our subject, Jesus.

We must be holy. We believe that followers of Christ have been called to live a life of love, purity, and godliness. We are called to live like Christ, taking on a new nature (2 Cor 5:17).

County Line Church of God History

The church has an early pioneer-like history. It was in the fall of 1896 that a young man named Ed Bailey trudged down County Line Road looking for work and distributing literature from the Gospel Trumpet Company of Anderson, Indiana. The company’s message was a passionate one of calling people out of their denominations and divisions to holiness and unity in the Body of Christ. Ed met two farmers in the woods along the road, brothers David and Eli Gerig, who hired him to help cut wood and do chores.

Ed spoke passionately about the need to genuinely follow God. He soon sent for an evangelist and arranged a revival meeting in the Brush College School on the Garman Road. Evangelist C. E. Orr from Federalsburg, Maryland preached in the schoolhouse a few nights and there were several conversions. Meetings continued for two more weeks before the trustee of the school closed the door to any further preaching. Services were then moved to the Amstutz Schoolhouse two miles east, where Charles Orr continued his powerful message.

In the summer of 1897, the meetings were moved to a wooded grove just east of Brush College School, which belonged to one of the new converts, Alex Warner. This was a brush arbor meeting where branches were laid across erected poles to provide a roof. People sat on boards laid across logs. John Freehafer, a man described as “full of the joy of the Lord and wisdom of God,” traveled by buggy from his home in Huntington to teach and instruct new converts. Soon Eli Gerig, who lived just west of the present church buildings, opened his home for services conducted by Brother Freehafer. The group held Sunday services and midweek prayer meetings in the large parlor of the Gerig home. At the time, the community often referred to the congregation as the “Saints’ Church.” In 1903, a meeting house was built on the current site with lumber cut from the property.

Today, County Line Church continues the vision of Ed Bailey and the Gerig family back in 1897. One has to wonder if they ever dreamed County Line would be a church of over 2,000 people, witnessing hundreds of salvations and baptisms each year. Could they have imagined how County Line is being used by God to impact our surrounding communities, help people in need, restore marriages, equip families, and support God’s work in other parts of the world?

The power of Christian prayer May your light illuminate our hearts
Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
