Vision
We believe it is the desire of the Lord to have a Bible believing, Spirit filled (‘Pentecostal’), outward looking (‘Evangelical’) & vibrant Church in Oakdale. Thereby influencing & affecting our village & beyond spiritually, morally & socially for His praise & glory. A 1st century Church in/for the 21st century.
A place where all ages can know the Lord, find their place of service in His Body & go show Him to their world.
We as a Church have always been & will continue to be totally committed to Prayer/Intercession understanding that Jesus wants a ’ House of prayer for all nations’ (Lk.19:46).
‘Prayer’ encapsulates what we as a fellowship want to be:
P: Pre-eminence of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Church as His body & in the individuals that make it up (Matt.6:33, Eph.1:20-23, Col.1:18).
R: Relationships developed & matured: Firstly, with the Lord through Prayer/Word/Fellowship
(to know Him as our primary purpose in life), & with each other; committed, serving & loving one another (Lk.10:38-42, Jn.15:12-17).
A: Authority of the Word of God as our only manual for life & source of Truth which we are committed to the preaching/exposition/studying of (1Cor.1:21, 2Tim.3:16-17).
Y: Yielding to the leading, prompting & inspiration of the Holy Spirit in all areas/aspects of our lives; family, work, finance& leisure (Gal.5:16-25). Knowing it is vital to be continually filled so we can be naturally supernatural & work out our gifting to serve others (Acts.1:4-8,Eph.5:18, 1Pet.4:10).
E: Evangelism: Personal & corporate. ‘To know Him & SHOW Him’. Always looking outward, as Christ’s purpose was ‘to seek & save the lost’ so ours is to be (Matt:28:19-20, Lk.19:10).
R: Restoration of true Biblical Christianity i.e. 1st century Church; ministry & spiritual gifts in full operation, spontaneous Spirit led worship which is borne out by a righteous, holy life full of the fruit of the Spirit (Book of Acts).
From time to time specific goals (e.g. numerical, ministerial & financial..) will be set as the Lord directs.

We are in Fellowship with the Pentecostal Assemblies of God whose Purpose & Statement of Faith we subscribe to:
Purpose Statement: The purpose of Assemblies of God is to give every man, woman & child the opportunity of understanding the Gospel & to provide a Church where they can grow & develop in ministry for the glory of God.
Statement of Faith:
1. We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old & New Testament excluding the Apocrypha) is the inspired Word of God, the infallible, all sufficient rule of faith & practice (2 Tim.3:15-16; 2 Peter 1:21).
2. We believe in the unity of the One True & Living God who is Eternal, Self-Existent ‘I AM’, who has also revealed Himself as One being existing in three Persons – Father, Son & Holy Spirit (Deut.6:4; Mark 12:29; Matt.28:19; 2 Cor.3:14).
3. We believe in the Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, Substitutionary Atoning Death, Bodily Resurrection, Triumphal Ascension & Abiding Intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ & in His Premillennial Second Advent as the blessed hope set before all believers(Isa.7:14; Matt.1:23; Heb.7:26; 1 Pet.2:22, Acts 2:22, 10:38; 2 Cor.5:21; Heb.9;12; Luke 24;39; 1 Cor.15:4; Acts 1:9 Eph.4:8-10; Rom.8:34; Heb.7:25; 1 Cor.15;22-24, 51-57; 1 Thess.4;13-18; Rev.20:1-6).
4. We believe in the fall of man, who was created pure & upright, but fell by voluntary transgression (Gen.1;26-31, 3:1-7; Rom.5:12-21).
5. We believe in Salvation through Faith in Christ, who, according to Scriptures, died for our sins, was buried & was from the dead on the third day, & that through His Blood we have Redemption (Titus 2:11, 3:5-7; Rom.10:8-15; 1 Cor.15:3-4). This experience is also known as the new birth, & is an instantaneous & complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:5-6; James 1:18; 1 Pet.1:23; 1 John 5:1).
6. We believe that all who have truly repented & believed in Christ as Lord & Saviour are commanded to be baptised by immersion in water (Matt.28;19; Acts 10:47-48; Acts 2:38-39).
7. We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the initial evidence of which is the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance (Acts 2:4, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 19:6; Isa.8:18).
8. We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit & the gifts of Christ in the Church today (1 Cor.12:4-11, 28; Eph.4:7-16).
9. We believe in holiness of life & conduct in obedience to the command of God (1 Pet.1:14-16; Heb.12:14; 1 Thess.5:23; 1 John 2:6).
10. We believe that deliverance from sickness, by Divine Healing is provided for in the Atonement (Isa.53:4-5, Matt.8:16-17; James 5;13-16).
11. We believe that all who have truly repented & believe in Christ as Lord & Saviour should regularly participate in Breaking of Bread (Luke 22:14-20; 1 Cor.11:20-34).
12. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the everlasting conscious bliss of all who truly believe in our Lord Jeusu Christ & the everlasting conscious punishment of all whose names are not written in the Book of Life (Dan.12:2-3; John 5:28-29; 1 Cor.15:22-24; Matt.25:46; 2 Thess. 1:9; Rev.20:10-15).
