We are a Pentecostal church

Pentecostalism is a movement within Christianity that teaches that supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit such as divine healing, prophecy and speaking in tongues have been restored to the church. We recognize the five fold ministry gifts of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher and we work to see every believer equipped and empowered with faith, hope and love and established in their gifts and callings. (Ephesians 4:11-13)

Our Expressions of Praise and Worship

Our praise and worship is often spontaneous and high-spirited. Clapping, singing, shouting, dancing, speaking in tongues and prophesying are all typical of our worship services. Individual worshippers are also encouraged to express their love and devotion to God as their heart and the spirit of God move them. Our worshippers often clap, shout and raise their hands in praise. A worship leader or pastor may ask the congregation to do any of these corporately at times, but they are more often spontaneous expressions of the worshipers as they are led by the Holy Spirit.

 

Gifts of the Holy Spirit                                                                        

It is common in our services for the gifts of the Spirit to be manifested during times of praise and worship. We believe that the Holy Spirit gives gifts such as speaking in tongues, interpretation of those tongues, and prophecy to the church. Our pastors take the time to explain the gifts when they are expressed during the church service. This is especially true of the gift of tongues, which may seem unusual to those unfamiliar with Pentecostals' teachings on the subject.
