What is the official history of the COG?

• A. The Gospel Banner
• B. Our Story
• C. The Church Chronicle
• D. Like a Mighty Army

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing what counts as the denomination’s authoritative historical record. Like a Mighty Army is regarded as the official history of the Church of God because it presents the structured narrative of the movement’s origins, key leaders, doctrinal development, and major milestones in a way that the church itself endorses and teaches from. It serves as the standard reference used in churches and ordination training, giving a cohesive story from the early years through modern times.

The other items are publications or names used for communications or branding rather than the denomination’s formal history. The Gospel Banner is their periodical for news and messages, not a single, definitive historical account. Our Story and The Church Chronicle function more as modern branding or records/updates, rather than the established historical narrative recognized by the church.
