OUR AFFILIATIONS
Timberland Bible Church is affiliated with the Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, headquartered near Atlanta, GA. The "Church of God" name is based on the Apostle Paul’s salutation to the Church of God in Corinth. The "Abrahamic Faith" subtitle is to distinguish us from the many other denominations which call themselves the Church of God. Abraham was the recipient of many of God’s promises and a man of faith, and certainly an example for all of us. We’re also affiliated with the Indiana Conference of the Churches of God.
"If you belong to Christ,
then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise."
(Galatians 3:29)
