The Abrahamic, or The Church of God of the Faith of Abraham, was established in Lanark in 1871 when they purchased the old M. E. Building. The faithful have a firm belief in the establishment of the kingdom of God on the earth, with Christ as King of Kings and the immortal saints as joint heirs with Him in the government of nations; the restoration of Israel; the literal resurrection of the dead; immortalization of the righteous, and the final destruction of the wicked; eternal life only through Christ; also a hearty belief of the gospel; repentance and immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and a holy life as essential for final salvation. We do not have a local minister in Lanark, but have preaching periodically by state evangelists. We hold conference yearly at some point in the state. Our acknowledged church paper is The Restitution.
