The church is established as a religious not-for-profit organization in the United States of America dating back to 1987 and also registered under the Internal Revenue Service Section 501C(3). The church is governed by a National Executive Committee (NEC) elected by the National Presbytery Council as prescribed by the Constitution.
The Pentecost International Worship Center is designed to be a cross-cultural Pentecostal Christian Center that impacts generations with holistic ministry and stands for Biblical teachings and principles, discipleship, fellowship, and vibrant evangelism; as well as, mentoring relationships that aim at impacting future generations.

OUR TENETS
01 THE BIBLE
We believe in the divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. That the Bible is infallible in its declaration, final in its authority, comprehensive and all-sufficient in its provisions. (2 Timothy 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
02 THE ONE TRUE GOD
We believe in the existence of the One True God, Elohim, maker of the whole universe; indefinable but revealed as Triune God – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16, 17; 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14); one in nature, essence and attributes – Omnipotent (Deuteronomy 6:4; Job 42:2; Isaiah 46:9, 10; Revelation 19:6); Omnipresent (Psalm 139:7-12; 147:5); Omniscient (Job 42:2; Isaiah 46:9, 10; Acts 5:4-5)
03 THE DEPRAVED NATURE OF HUMANITY
We believe that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Genesis 3:1-19; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23), and are subject to eternal punishment (Matthew 13:41, 42; Romans 6:23), and need Repentance (Acts 2:38; Matthew 4:17; Acts 20:21) and Regeneration (John 3:3, 5; Titus 3:5).
04 THE SAVIOR
We believe humanity’s need of a Saviour has been met in the person of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:21; John 4:42; Acts 2:36; Ephesians 5:23; Philippians 2:6-11), because of His Deity (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1; John 20:28; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13-14), Virgin Birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:25-26), Atoning death (Romans 3:25; Hebrews 9:22; 1 John 2:2), Resurrection (Matthew 28:5-7; Acts 2:24; Acts 2:36; Acts 10:39-40; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4) and Ascension (Acts 1:9-11; Acts 2:33-36), His Abiding Intercession (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25) and His second coming to judge the living and the dead (Acts 1:11; Acts 10:42; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, 2 Timothy 4:1; Revelation 22:12, 20)
05 REPENTANCE, JUSTIFICATION AND SANCTIFICATION
06 THE ORDINANCES OF BAPTISM AND THE LORD’S SUPPER OR COMMUNION
We believe in the ordinance of Baptism by immersion as a testimony of a convert who has attained a responsible age of 13 years. (Matthew 3:16; Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9,10; Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38). Infants and children are not baptised but are dedicated to the Lord (Mark 10:13-16; Luke 2:22-24, 34). We believe in the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper or Holy Communion, which should be partaken by all members who are in full fellowship (Luke 22:19, 20; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 11:23-33).
07 BAPTISM, GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
08 DIVINE HEALING
We believe that the healing of sicknesses and diseases is provided for God’s people in the atonement (Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:7-13; 16,17; Mark 16:17,18; Luke 13:10-16; Acts 10:38; James 5:14-16). However, the Church is not opposed to medication by qualified medical practitioners.
09 TITHES AND OFFERINGS
10 THE SECOND COMING AND THE NEXT LIFE
We believe in the second coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead, both the saved and the unsaved. They that are saved to the resurrection of life and the unsaved to the resurrection of damnation (Daniel 12:2; Mark 13:26; John 5:28, 29; Acts 1:11; Acts 10:42; Romans 2:7-11; Romans 6:23).
