description: International Churches' ManuelChief ApostleBishop J. L. PayneHeadquarters Jackson, Mississippi In the diversity of a modern minister’s life in a so-called modern church, there is a constant need to understand the God who is not limited to man’s limitations, neither his thinking. We stand at the threshold of a new era that has demanded an academic spiritual mind and activating spirituality must be a daily experience in the life of every true man of God. This Manuel of the Churches of God in Christ USA is here to help in our search for completion in the never ending task COGIC, USA Ministry. Although we are limited, yet our God is capable and able to equip us with His tools and authority to do His bidding among men and especially the household of faith. We, in the Churches of God in Christ, USA Inc. (COGIC,USA) serve the body of Christ through the 5-fold ministry leadership. This writing is an effort for us to address those procedures. The Psalmist says, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do" (Psalms 11:3)? The righteous demand a plan and order for existence. We are believers in our Lord’s purpose, plan, and order for man. The Bible is our guide and map to God’s foundation of ministry. The scriptures attest this in its entirely. We in the church sustain these facts by practicing its precepts, instructions, and rules based on the Apostolic order and practice. We subscribe to the New Testament’s church principles. Secondly, this writing is an ongoing text of the doctrines of this great fellowship - the COGIC, USA. We pray this presentation will serve as a catechism and guide to the development of your ministry and others you care about or are involved with. We invite all ministries to consider its use. This text has been prepared for the body of ministry within the Churches of God in Christ, USA Inc. and all concerned and also to those who desire to use it. It is not by far a conclusion of the church presents upon these subjects but rather a continual presentation toward the whole person in Christ that we seek in life, ministry, and service. We invite all to consider its guide, its instruction, pattern, and rule of order for us in church thought and procedures. I pray the use of it will be helpful in your church efforts.
