Which trio are core values of the Church of God (COG)?

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

Answer: (C)

The three guiding commitments highlighted are prayer, Pentecostal worship, and church planting. Prayer anchors believers in ongoing communication with God, shaping character, intercession, and dependence on Him. Pentecostal worship captures the Church of God emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s active presence—expressive praise, spiritual gifts in operation, and a worship experience that energizes and equips believers for service. Church planting focuses on mission—starting new churches to reach more people with the gospel and multiply disciples.

Together, these three cover inward devotion (prayer), Spirit-led worship (Pentecostal worship), and outward expansion (church planting). Other options may emphasize study or fellowship, but they don’t combine these elements—devotion, dynamic worship, and intentional church growth—in the same way.
