Other information: At APC we proclaim the full Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ bringing salvation, new life in Christ and wholeness to the total person (Romans 15:18-21,29). We believe we must be faithful and regular in the assembly of God, the gathering of the brethren, the local church according to Hebrews 10:25. As a Bible believing community, we engage in Spirit filled worship. We sing both contemporary songs and the great hymns of the Christian faith and tradition as in the Anglican (CSI, CNI) and Evangelical (Methodist, Baptist, etc,) churches. We partake in the Lord’s table, the Holy Communion each month. We practice water baptism by immersion, as was initially introduced by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:6) and given to the Church by the Lord Jesus in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Water baptism services are held typically every alternate month. We also believe in the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit as a present-day experience available for all believers (Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-4,17-18,38-39). We regularly pray for believers to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit with expression in tongues and other gifts of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the apostolic and prophetic mandate to equip believers for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12), with the power of the Holy Spirit through the ‘charismata’ (charismatic expressions), the gifts of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7-11), for supernatural healing, deliverance, and miracles. We believe every believer is a minister in the Body of Christ, with a God-given role and function. Hence, we encourage all believers to actively volunteer and serve God in the local church community and beyond. Together we pursue God, to be stronger, deeper, and higher in knowing Him, and to reach further for His Kingdom and for His glory alone. We emphasize expressing our unity and fellowship in the Spirit in practical ways. “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” (Psalm 133:1).
APC Churches are Spirit filled, Word based, Bible-believing fellowship of believers in Jesus Christ desiring more of His presence and supernatural power bringing transformation, healing, miracles, and deliverance. We preach the full Gospel, equip believers to live out our new life in Christ, and serve in strengthening unity across all Christian churches: Anglican, Apostolic, Assembly of God (AG), Baptist, Brethren, Charismatic, CSI, CNI, Evangelical, Full Gospel, Independent, Lutheran, Methodist, Non-denominational, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Prophetic, Revival, and other city churches.
