Jesus is the Subject: Exploring the Church of God

“As we thought about updating Meet Us at the Cross and Who is the Church of God?, and perhaps combining them into a single product, we determined it would make sense to consider the current themes and language coming from Church of God Ministries,” Regina Jackson, vice president of product marketing for Warner Press, explains. “What we found was a good bit of difference between what was important to address in such pamphlets in years past and the things that need to be addressed today. For example, the old products devoted considerable space to explaining why the name ‘Church of God’ is the most biblical; people today are less concerned about why a congregation’s name was chosen. Conversely, the old products didn’t spend much time explaining who Jesus is and how to have a relationship with him; today, we can’t assume that newcomers to a church know who Jesus is or how to receive him as Savior and Lord. Church of God Ministries has already identified themes and language describing the Church of God in ways that resonate with today’s world and answer the questions being asked by today’s world. It was natural to adopt such language for this booklet that helps people understand who the Church of God is.”
