About Us

Who We Are.

We are a family of believers who seek to daily encounter God, be changed by Him and carry that change into the world.

Port McNeill Full Gospel is a member of the Apostolic Church of Pentecost Canada, a fellowship of about 150 churches in Canada and related to churches in many nations.

Why We Are Here.

Our Vision: “A life giving people”

Our Mission: “Carrying the heart of the Father transforming the world”

What We Believe.

In the verbal inspiration of the accepted canon of Sacred Scriptures as originally given.

In the existence of One True God who is the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

In the Saviour of men, the Lord Jesus Christ, conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, very God and very man.

In the creation, test and fall of man, as recorded in Genesis; his total spiritual depravity and inability to attain to divine righteousness.

In the Gospel of the Grace of God, how that Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again the third day for our justification.

In the salvation of sinners by Grace, through faith alone in the perfect and sufficient work of Christ on our behalf upon the cross of Calvary excluding all human merit, at which time all believers receive the Holy Spirit by faith.

In Water Baptism of believers by immersion.

In the Baptism with the Holy Spirit as an experience subsequent to and seperate from salvation. We believe that, as a result, speaking in tongues becomes an available resource for every believer.

In the gifts of the Spirit as enumerated in I Corinthians 12-14, being exercised and practiced as manifest in the early Church.

In the Lord’s memorial, commonly called the Lord’s supper as a memorial for all believers.

In the healing of the body by Divine power, or Divine Healing in many aspects as practiced by the early Church.

In the eternal life of the believer and the eternal punishment of the unbeliever.

In the Spirit-filled life, a life of separation from the world and the perfecting of holiness in the fear of God as an expression of Christian faith.

In the reality and personality of Satan and demons.

In the reality and ministry of holy angels.

In the personal return of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church.
