As a covenant community comprised of followers of Jesus Christ devoted to the word of God, the Adelaide Pentecostal Fellowship adheres to the following essential values as foundational doctrines and those things which we hold as absolute beliefs (Luke 1:1)seeking always the global advancement of the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:8); endeavouring to be connected and serve with a Christ-honouring approach that there be no divisive disturbance of the peace and harmony within the Body of Christ (Mark 10:45, 1 Corinthians 1:10) in order that we will be a relevant voice to reach the unreached peoples of our generation and send the reached into the harvest (Acts 13:36)

MISSION AND VISION

The Church is the body of Christ, the dwelling place of God through the Spirit, called to fulfill His divine purposes in advancing the Kingdom of God.  

God’s mission for humanity is to seek and save the lost, to receive our worship, and to build a community of believers transformed into the likeness of His Son. As part of the global Church, Adelaide Pentecostal Fellowship exists to:  

1. Evangelize the World – Serving as God’s instrument to share the Gospel locally and globally (Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16).  
2. Worship Together – Uniting as a spiritual family to honor and glorify God (1 Corinthians 12:13).  
3. Disciple Believers – Equipping saints to grow into Christ’s image through biblical teaching and fellowship (Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 14:12).  
4. Embrace the Holy Spirit’s Power – Encouraging believers to experience the baptism of the Holy Spirit for empowered living and ministry.  
5. Cultivate Intimacy with God – Deepening worship through the Spirit’s presence and guidance (1 Corinthians 2:10-16; 12-14).  
6. Operate in Spiritual Gifts – Activating the fruit, gifts, and ministries of the Spirit to edify the Church as in New Testament times (Galatians 5:22-26; 1 Corinthians 14:12; Ephesians 4:11-12; Colossians 1:29).  

We are committed to fulfilling this vision in alignment with apostolic foundations, pursuing God’s purpose with passion and unity.
