Which of the following is a core value of the Church of God (COG)?

• A. Prayer, Pentecostal Worship and Church Planting
• B. Prayer, Evangelism, and Mission
• C. Worship, Prayer, and Fellowship
• D. Bible Study, Prayer, and Giving

Answer: (A)

The main point here is which trio the Church of God identifies as foundational to its life and ministry. Prayer is central because personal communion with God and intercession for the church fuel all activity. Pentecostal Worship reflects the denomination’s emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s activity in worship, a defining expression of faith and community life. Church Planting shows a commitment to expanding the church by establishing new congregations and reaching new communities. Together, these three elements—prayer, Spirit-led worship, and multiplying churches—embody how the Church of God seeks to nurture believers, worship God in fullness, and extend its reach. The other options include important practices, but they do not combine these three core emphases in the same way, and thus don’t align as closely with what the denomination emphasizes as its foundational trio.
