Hearing Gods VoiceIn this day and age we will really need to know how to hear the voice of God.  God wants to speak with you.  He wants to do it in so many ways.  Through the still small voice, through dreams and visions, and even talking directly to you.  He wants to have a deep relationship with you. 

Many ask how do I know it is God’s voice.  Many say it is so hard to get that close to God.  Others say how do I know when it is Him and not just me.  This class is designed to help you with these questions. 

We live in a super-fast paced world where we have to make all kinds of decisions and we have to make them quicker than ever before.  Wouldn’t it be nice to hear from God so we can make the right decision and choice all the time?  That is why we are doing this class.

Come out Sunday nights at 6 PM and learn to hear God’s voice.  

This class is also live on Facebook.

First-Assembly-of-God-Church-Punxsutawney-900

These are non-negotiable tenets of faith that all Assemblies of God churches adhere to. This list is derived from the official Statement of Fundamental Truths. Click links below to see the complete original statement with scriptures.

  1. WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.

  2. WE BELIEVE...There is only One True God – revealed in three persons...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).

  3. WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son, Jesus was both human and divine.

  4. WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin – ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

  5. WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of   4 cardinal doctrines of the AG].

  6. WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances — (1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

  7. WE BELIEVE...the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a Special Experience Following Salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG].

  8. WE BELIEVE...The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘Speaking in Tongues,’ as experienced on the Day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.

  9. WE BELIEVE...Sanctification Initially Occurs at Salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.

  10. WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son, Jesus Christ.

  11. WE BELIEVE...A Divinely Called and Scripturally Ordained Leadership Ministry Serves the Church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers – the Church - and to Meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.

  12. WE BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG].

  13. WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope — When Jesus Raptures His Church Prior to His Return to Earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time, all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG].

  14. WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.

  15. WE BELIEVE...A Final Judgment Will Take Place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.

  16. WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever, following His millennial reign on Earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'


The Church:

To be a body of believers who embrace the Good News of Jesus Christ, who want to enjoy all that it offers having the empty spaces in their lives filled with the Love of Jesus! Who realize that the Pentecostal experience, the active work of the Holy Spirit today in our daily lives, is the foundation we are to be built on and is what is necessary and key to help us constantly work toward being complete, not lacking or omitting anything. 

The Mission:

This body of believers as it grows closer to God realizes it must follow Jesus’ command to be active in spreading the Gospel to all creation, relying on the Power of the Holy Spirit as its source of power. Realizing that just as the tabernacle was designed to move in the desert that people today are dying in a desert of sin and they need us to come to them, whether at home, regionally, nationally, or internationally. A tabernacle that is always ready to move to where God needs us the most.

The Dream:

To not be a small church, but a true tabernacle, a house of true worship, designed for a continually increasing congregation. To have the vision to enlarge the tent when needed to hold as many as possible wherever needed until the day the Lord comes back and we dwell with Jesus in the eternal temple that will never be destroyed!
