About · Brookside Church of God
A church built
on one person.
A small Pentecostal church family on Cardiff Street in Brookside, Alabama, one we would love you to be part of. Come as you are and sit wherever you like.
What we believe
Christian. Protestant.
Foundational. Evangelical.
Four words the Church of God uses to describe itself. First and foremost, Brookside is built upon Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and our doctrine and practice rest on His teaching and the authority of Scripture.
We welcome people from all denominations.
Read our declaration of faithProtestant
Founded upon the principles of Protestantism, though not a traditional follower of any one leader of the Reformation. We stand firmly for justification by faith, the priesthood of believers, the authority of the Bible, religious freedom, and the separation of church and state.
Foundational
The Church of God subscribes to five foundational Christian doctrines.
- The inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible.
- The virgin birth and complete deity of Christ.
- The atoning sacrifice of Christ’s death for the sins of the world.
- The literal resurrection of the body.
- Christ’s second coming in bodily form to earth.
Evangelical
Evangelical describes those who affirm the primary doctrines revealed in the Scriptures: the inspiration and authority of the Word of God, the Trinity, the deity and virgin birth of Jesus Christ, salvation by faith in the atoning death of Christ, His bodily resurrection and ascension, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the second coming of Christ, and the spiritual unity of believers.
