PENTECOSTAL
We celebrate the work of Acts 2, where the Spirit of God empowered Christ-followers to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth. To be Pentecostal means identifying with the belief that God is still in the business of saving the lost, equipping the found, delivering those in bondage, healing the sick, and performing miracles.
CHURCH
As a church, we exist outside the walls of a building. In fact, to be “the church” is to be “the called-out ones,” united by faith in Jesus Christ. So for that reason, the church is not just a local assembly, but it consists of people from every nation and language who are committed to worship God and serve others through love and generosity.
OF GOD
These last two words designate what kind of church we are. If we know God to be relational, loving, creative, etc., then the presumption is that we are reflecting His character to the world. To be “of God” implies wholeness, Spirit-dependence, accurate preaching of the Word, excellence, diversity, and much more.
