ABOUT US
Overview of The
Church of Pentecost The Church of Pentecost Canada is a full-gospel, Holy Spirit-filled church carrying the gospel to all parts of the world. The driving force behind the Church's growth is that the Church of Pentecost is part of the body of Christ of which Jesus Christ is the Head and the Holy Spirit is the Spiritual Administrator. The Church of Pentecost Canada is registered federal religious non-profit organization carrying the gospel to all parts of the world and in Canada in particular. The Church of Pentecost Canada is a branch of The Church of Pentecost International, which has its general headquarters in Accra, Ghana, West Africa and traces its origin to 1937 when the English missionary, Rev. James McKeown, began his ministry in the then Gold Coast (now Ghana). Presently, The Church of Pentecost International is active in over 60 countries in across all continents with over 1.5 million members and 12 013 Assemblies (Local Churches) worldwide. Expanding The Kingdom of God in Canada The Church of Pentecost Canada was started in 1990 in Toronto, Ontario, and has since expanded to other provinces. Presently, there are 14 branches or local churches in Montreal (Quebec Province), Vancouver (British Columbia Province), Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer (Alberta Province) and Winnipeg (Manitoba Province). In Ontario, we have branches in Hamilton, London, Scarborough, Peel, Ottawa, Mckeown Worship Center (North York) and Pentecost International Worship Center (PIWC) Toronto. Small branches are being planted in Thunder Bay, Kingston, Windsor, and Halifax. The Church in Canada has a total membership of 3, 621 including 2, 497 adults and 1, 124 children.

Our Mission The Church's primary aim and objective is to practice and propagate what our Lord Jesus Christ commanded in Mark 16:15-16: " go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, he believeth and is baptized shall be saved...", and in Matthew 25:40 " in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these brethren, ye have done it unto me." The Church of Pentecost Canada exists to bring all people everywhere to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ through the proclamation of the gospel, the planting of churches and the equipping of believers foance into full fellowship of the Church is by the ceremony of the Right Hand of Fellowship (Galatians 2:9). And the Right Hand of Fellowship is extended by a Minister or Presiding Elder during a Church service. Full members of the Church are extended the Right Hand Fellowship providing they meet the following criteria: i). A clear testimony of Salvation (publicly confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior) ii). Baptism by immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ. iii). Undergo a period of teaching. (New Covert’s classes) Those who are given the Right Hand of Fellowship shall become Communicants. They may be called into any unpaid office or full-time ministry of the Church. A person is received into membership of the Church who joins from another denomination with similar beliefs and doctrine and produces a baptismal certificate or satisfactory identity and is received into fellowship by the extension of the Right Hand of Fellowship to him/her. Worship With Us You are invited to stop by any of our services. In addition to preaching and proclaiming the unadulterated Words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our worship services includes congregational singing, prayers, and testimonies about God's love and awesome power.
