COG Property, Ownership, Responsibility, and Sold Property

Friendly Face Posts: 140 **4/24/19 9:28 am**

1. When property is deeded to the Church of God, is it owned by the State or by the International Office? In section S44 of the COG Minutes it states ALL PROPERTY OWNED IN TRUST FOR CHURCH OF GOD IN CLEVELAND, TN.

So, why does the State Office keep the money from sold property instead of the International Headquarters?

2. If S44 of the Minutes is legal as written, should the International Office of the Church of God BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL AREAS of Ownership of ALL property deeded to them?

The state office is also COG, Cleveland, TN. Itâ€™s all one in the same. Thatâ€™s my guess.

If international was in charge of your property ....

that would not be the best. Could you imagine if a local church was having financial trouble and needed some help. How would they choose who got help and who had to make their own way? This board is filled with post trying to make sense of why some things happen in our denomination.

The state has it's church best interest at heart because the Bishop's record is on the line, the state council would know the church, and people making any choices would be more aware of the community the church is in.

Personally I would like to see the state/regional office be able to spend money on training and ministry, but I like the fact that we are also taking care of the local churches that make up our state/region.

Is Mount Paran's deed held in trust to the Church of God, Cleveland, TN?
