Friday, August 21st
Saturday, August 22nd
Sunday, August 23rd
This Pentecostal Apostolic Convention is a Pentecostal's Experience with it experience and origins back to the first century Christianity and Church in its faith, practices, and government. The Convention-Church's purpose is summed up in its mission, that is 'to make known salvation through the forgiveness of sins through the atoning death of Christ; the baptism of the Holy Spirit with signs following; the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit; the five offices of ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ; the baptism of our Lord in water by immersion; and the burden, message and vision of the New Testament Church, which is called "His Body" The world-wide passion , mission and vision of the church is evidenced by a strong missionary concern. Often, the Pentecostal-Apostolic Church is a common term for a Movement and is a common term describing churches and groups within what is said the Oneness Movement, which holds evangelical doctrine on the Trinity and Baptism. Please allow us to explain that the Pentecostal-Apostolic move of God is far greater than a denomination or sectarian religion! It is the Church in Action! It is the New Testament Church today for this century!
