Welcome To Lawrenceville Church of God
"Loving God, Loving People"
Our congregation has been loving our God and loving His people since 1856 in the Springfield area. We moved to Lawrenceville in 1916. God has been so good to us over the years by letting us care for, teach and bring into our family His children. As we move to our new location at Fox Hollow and 41 may God continue to give us the strength we need to bring His love to this community.
What Are We Here For?
Our Statement of Purpose
We believe that God’s purpose for His Church is simple and amazingly powerful; “Love God and Love People”.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it:
"Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- Jesus, Matthew 22:37-40 NIV
It is through authentic love that all the gifts and workings of God are made effective through His people.
“If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
- Paul, 1 Corinthians 13:2, 3, 13
Loving God and loving people also means to us that we need to:
• Teach and build up our members in Christian character and Godliness.
• Provide religious education for all ages according to the Word of God.
• Promote missionary activities here and abroad.
• Serve our community in all possible ways.
Our Statement of Mission

for us, given to us by Jesus is to make followers for Him where we
can.

them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Matthew 28:19,20

Jesus Christ and the coming Kingdom of God.

God and the name of Jesus Christ, they
