In Paul's first epistle to The Church of God at Corinth, he wrote, "I have planted. Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watered; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planeth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, [ye are] God's building" (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). The work of the Church is not Her own; rather, it is God who bears the fruit of results through those who perform His ministry.
As the second advent of our Savior draws near, The Church of God is moving forward in Her fulfillment of the Great Commission. Since 1993, the Church has increased to over 21,000 members with believers being added to the Church daily. Over 570 churches are represented in forty-seven countries and forty-one states.
