We are a Spirit-filled, life-giving church in the heart of Tampa FL. Our church is multi-cultural and multi-generational.
We exist to reach everyone with the life-giving message of Jesus, and to live out the Scriptures as He intended. Our beliefs are based on foundational truths taught and practiced in the Bible. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in these biblical doctrines.
Our Beliefs
God
We believe in one God (Deuteronomy 6:4) who created the heavens and the earth. He chose to reveal Himself to humanity as the Father (Creator), as the Son (Savior), and as the Holy Ghost (Indwelling Spirit). Jesus Christ is both God and man. He is the one God displayed in flesh (Colossians 2:9, Colossians 1:15).
The Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. We accept the Scriptures as the unrivaled truth concerning our faith, lifestyle and doctrine.
The Second Coming
We believe in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth and the establishment of His eternal Kingdom. We believe in the resurrection of the body, the final judgement and the ultimate victory of the eternal Kingdom of God. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.
Sin & Salvation
We believe that all have sinned, and that all are in need of salvation. Salvation is an unmerited gift from God achieved through repentance, receiving of the Holy Spirit, Water Baptism and living a Holy Lifestyle.
Water Baptism
We believe in baptism by immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. Water baptism is an act of obedience identifying with Jesus in death to sin, burial of the old nature, and resurrection to new life. (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:3-7.)
Holy Spirit
We believe in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit by the evidence of speaking with other tongues. (Acts 2:4.)
We believe in the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He ministers to His church through the spiritual gifts of: tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, words of wisdom and knowledge, discerning of spirits, faith, working of miracles, healing, helps and government. (Mark 16:15-18, Acts 5:16, 2 Corinthians 12:1-11.)
Holy Living
We believe that the church (which has been called out of the world) are to live a holy, pure life before God and humanity. (2 Corinthians 7:1, Hebrews 12:14.)
The Church
We believe that the local church is the hope of the world. Jesus called The Church, His people, out of the world to follow Him, love as He loves and live for His purpose, which is to seek and save the lost.
Our Values
Jesus
We put Jesus first in everything we do. He is our example and our everything. Our purpose is His Will.
People
God loves all people, and so do we. We believe in treating everyone like the child of God that they are.
Family
Our desire is to build strong families, but also to be a strong “church family” for our community.
Generosity
Giving is the heartbeat of this church. We happily give of our time, talents and treasure to reach our community.
Transformation
We know that after encountering Jesus, no person remains the same. We are passionate about seeing God transform lives.
Unity
We believe in reaching our diverse community. No matter who you are or what your story is, you are welcome here.

LEAD PASTORS
After serving on staff for 12 years in various roles at the First United Pentecostal Church of San Antonio, TX, and serving the United Pentecostal Church International on a local and state level, our family was sent to reach the city of Tampa and beyond.
In January 2022, we began a new chapter as pastor of Tampa Pentecostal Church. As God leads us, we desire to build a strong, life-giving church with an impact that far exceeds our local area.
Our love is for people! Seeing Jesus make personal transformations is the highlight of what we do.
If you’re in the Tampa area and looking for a place to worship, we’d love for you to join us at one of our upcoming services.
