    Find a Pentecostal Church Near You

    Pentecostal churches emphasise the present-day work of the Holy Spirit — the same power described in the Book of Acts. Worship is typically lively and expressive, and there is a strong expectation that God speaks, heals and transforms lives today.

    What to Expect at a Pentecostal Service

    Expect an extended time of contemporary worship with a band, spontaneous prayer, and a passionate Bible-based message. Services can be energetic and emotional, and people may raise their hands or pray aloud. You are free to join in as much or as little as you like.

    Common Questions

    What makes Pentecostal churches different?

    Pentecostals place a particular emphasis on the gifts of the Holy Spirit described in the New Testament — such as healing, prophecy and speaking in tongues — being active in the church today.

    Will I be put on the spot at a Pentecostal service?

    No. Although services are expressive, visitors are never pressured to take part. You can simply observe, and most people will just be glad you came.
