Purpose
To worship
God, the Father and his son, Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy
Ghost; to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to serve God by offering
the Harrisburg community the healing, helping, saving, sharing and spiritual
ministry through the love of Jesus Christ; and to reflect the existential
nature of God in all activities and relationships.
We have church services because the hymns, the reading of the Bible; the
sermon; the presence of other worshipping people all work together to
make us aware of the nearness of God. When we kneel to pray, our mind
is properly conditioned, our thinking becomes Godly, and we are then spiritually
renewed.

Memorial Church Of God In Christ Mission Statement
We the members of Lingo Memorial Church Of God In Christ do vow to glorify God by offering ongoing fervent prayer and supplication for the church and the community.
Our prayer ministry will be community focused with a world outreach so that the Son of God might be glorified. Through intercessory prayer and daily spiritual enrichment we will provide spiritual and natural nourishment. We will reach out to God's people everywhere, and provide a clear understanding of God's word, build respect for God and all those we encounter. We will strive to educate the community for spiritual and natural success through God.
We will move toward meeting the total needs of the Saints from early childhood through adulthood. The leadership of the church contends that each member in the body of Christ must be trained to render reasonable service unto God.
