pentecostal church
Related terms: apostolic church
A worship space used for regular services and prayer by a congregation in the Pentecostal movement.
A Pentecostal church is a place for regular services, prayer, and worship in the Pentecostalist movement of the Christian faith.
Pentecostalism emphasizes the work of the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts in Christian life. The movement includes several denominations and independent congregations, so it is not one centrally governed church organization.
Some Pentecostal churches use Apostolic in their names. The separately defined New Apostolic Church is a particular church body, and the shared word apostolic does not establish that a congregation belongs to it.
