In the years since Jim Lyon’s 2013 speech before the General Assembly, the phrase “Jesus is the subject” has proven to be far more than a tagline; it’s now part of the language that unites the Church of God as a movement. It’s a statement that encapsulates and energizes the Christ-centered focus that’s helping churches from coast to coast take giant steps to advance the kingdom. At the same time, the church visitor brochures Meet Us at the Cross and Who is the Church of God? are in high demand, though their content is becoming more and more outdated. Especially as congregations are sensing new wind in the sails of the Movement, a desire to inform the first-time guests and person-in-the-pew about the Church of God has only increased. On the heels of the popular “Jesus is the subject” word search puzzle books, Warner Press has responded to the need by producing a booklet that churches can buy in bulk for informational displays, guest gift bags, and discipleship classes.

“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.”
