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:

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).
