That we will uphold the public worship of God and the ordinances, and never forsake the unity of members.
That we will never neglect the duty of teaching and training our children, and those under our care, for service.
That we will seek divine aid to enable us deny ungodliness, and devote ourselves to winning souls.
That it is the duty of every disciple to bear personal witness to the Gospel, striving together for its purity and propagation.
That we will cheerfully give our time and wealth accordingly as God has blessed us for the maintenance of a faithful ministry, and for the support of the underprivileged

Empathic preaching

The Church of Pentecost is a God-honoring, Christ-centered, spirit-led, Bible-based Church. We are committed to the complete authority of the Holy Scripture. We believe that the Bible is the final authority in matters of faith and practice and therefore through the spirit of God, drives, defines, and develops all that we seek to do. The teaching of the word of God is therefore central to all that goes on in our ministry.

Our pastoral staff is committed to expository preaching on every occasion. The driving power of our services is a verse-by-verse study of a biblical passage that allows God to speak through the text of the bible into our lives. We believe that when the bible speaks God speaks.

Dynamic worship:

The Church of Pentecost is also a church that loves to engage in thoughtful and heartfelt worship. We recognize that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him eternally. Therefore, we seek to glorify Him through His son, the Lord Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We do this through singing, preaching, praying, partaking in the Lord's Supper, and holy living.

Our worship is a marriage between doxology (chorus of praise to God) and theology. This worship engages the mind, stirs the heart and sanctifies the soul. We enjoy worship that balances reverence with exuberance, quietness with a joyful noise, and historic hymns with contemporary choruses in a Pentecostal tradition.
