Not by Might, Nor by Power, but by My Spirit.

Welcome Note

We Thank the Grace of God that God has chosen to start the Ministry on the name of Philadelphia Pentecostal Church. We hope that your time with us offers you the chance to explore and deepen your Faith in His word and enrich the love you have for the Lord.

We extend our special invitation to you that you make this church your own where you worship the Lord always and receive His countless Blessings. Nobody knew that the Grace of God shall enable us to grow in reap and bound to reach where we are today. It is simply through the Mercies accorded to us through Jesus that we are able to say Thank you to our Loving God.

We built the temple of God by PPC Pentecostal denomination. We believe in justification by Faith, Sanctification, Salvation, Baptism, Holy Spirit, Divine Healing and in the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, that's what we read in the Holy Bible,

"Behold, I am Coming soon! Hold fast what you have that no one may take your crown" Rev 3:11.

We pray that you would find God in this place and time of your life. There is hope and rest in Him for all who are Seeking. We pray you wouldn’t miss it.

History

A city of Lydia in Asia Minor which was built as a center of Greek culture around 200 BC. It is located some 30 miles south east of Sardis. Philadelphia was celebrated for it's excellent wine. The city has a heavy Jewish population. It was destroyed by an earthquake in AD 17 but soon rebuilt by Tiberius Caesar.

So in the Holy Bible, Philadelphia is a church in Rev 3:7-13. It speaks about the faithful church that kept Christ's word and died not denying Him. The word Philadelphia means " Love" or " Brotherly Love". In Greek it's called "Agape" i.e. caring for and seeking the highest level of another person without motive of personal gain. Rom 5:5. In Heb 13:1, it says, " keep on loving each other as brothers. So love is the most effective weapon, without this all the various gifts of the holy spirit are of no avail. Love the essence of God's nature. I love the perfection of human characters. Love the most powerful ultimate force in the universe. In I Thess 4: 9-10, 3:12 says love each other, let the love increase and overflow.

What is love ?
It describes love as an activity and a behaviour not just as an inner feeling or motivation. The various aspects of love included here characterise that everyone must mould and build their attitude in love. The greater and the second commandment in the New Testament is " Love your neighbour as yourself", Mark 12:31; Matt 22:39 and the characters of love as told in I Corin 13:4-8. So in the last stage every brother and sister must seek to grow in this kind of love. "Love will endure when we keep it clear"

Statement Of Faith / Doctrine

We believe God is triune. We believe in one God, creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons-Father, Son & Holy Spirit: Matt 28:19, II Corin 13:14.

Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but voluntarily fell from his sinless state with the result that all men are sinners and hopelessly sinful in themselves apart from the grace of God: Gen 1:27, 9:6, Rom 5:12, 3:23, Eph 2:1.

The bible is the inspired word of God which is eternal and unbroken and is the only infallible rule of faith and conduct: Num 23-16-19, John 1:1-14, II Timo 3: 1-17, II Peter 1:21.

While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us signing the pardon for all who believed in Him: John 3:16, Rom 5:8 Salvation through grace: We believe we have no righteousness and must come to God, pleading the righteousness of Christ: Ephe 2:8

We believe that upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God (Romans 10:6-10; I John 1:9).

We believe the change which takes place in the heart and life at conversion is a very real one (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

We believe it is the will of God that we are sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).

We believe baptism by immersion is an outward sign of an inward work (Matthew 28:18-20 Mark 1:4-11).We believe in the commemoration of the Lord’s Supper by the symbolical use of the bread and juice of the vine (I Corinthians 11:24,25).

We believe the baptism with the Holy Spirit empowers believers and that His coming is after the same manner as in Bible days (Acts 2:4).The Spirit-Led Life We believe it is the will of God that we daily walk in the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30-32).

We believe the Holy Spirit has gifts to bestow upon the Christians (I Corinthians 12:1-11, 13:1-3) and that we should show spiritual fruit as evidence of a Spirit-filled life (Galatians 5:22).

We believe it is the will of God that we are sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).

We believe it is the will of God that we are sanctified daily, growing constantly in the faith (Hebrews 6:1).

The second coming of Christ is personal and imminent ( I Thessalonians 4:15-17, 5:1-3; II These 2:1-4; Titus 2: 11-13)

We believe it is our sacred duty to identify ourselves with the visible Church of Jesus Christ (Acts 16:5; Hebrews 10:25).

We believe laws should be upheld at all times, except in things opposed to the will of God (Romans 13:1-5).

We believe some day all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ to there receive eternal life or death (Revelations 20:11-15; Hebrews 9:27) (2 Corinthians 5:10).

We believe heaven is the glorious eternal home of born-again believers (John 14:1-3; Revelation 7:15-170).

We believe hell is the place of eternal torment for all who reject Christ as their Savior (Revelation 20:10-15).

We believe soul winning is the primary responsibility of the Church (James 5:20).

We believe the method ordained of God for the support and spread of His cause is by giving tithes and free-will offerings (Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:7).

Branch Ministry

From the year 2000-2015, God gave us a vision to start a few outstation works like childrens' home, village ministry, church planting in TN, Karnataka and North India.

As a church, we evangelised in different parts of Karnataka, TN and North India house visits, track distributions, conduct gospel meetings. Through these ministries many people accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour which enabled us to establish few churches in different villages, towns and cities like

Karnataka :- Hassan, Chikmagalur, Sakleshpura, Mangalore.

Bangalore :- Sanjay Nagar, Wilson Garden, Somasandrapalya Agara post, Sarjapur.

Tamilnadu :- Hosur, Irudukkottai, Thenkanikottai, Krishnagiri, Salem, Yercaud, Aathur, Kaatukkottai, Pudukkottai, Thanjavur, Thiruvannamalai, Kadagampaadi, Orathur, Velankanni, Erode, Arakkonam, Thiruppur.

North India :- Balki, Bidar, Latur(Maharashtra) Altogether, we supported 28 branch churches and 30 Pastors' families by sponsoring for the church rent, childrens' education etc. Now all of them are doing well in their ministries as God has blessed them abundantly.

Childrens' Home

"Where God's finger points, He makes the way." As said in Matthew 19:14: "Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." In the year 2005 July, God gave us a vision to start a childrens' home and we started it at Irudukkottai TN. The place was isolated and deserted and there we constructed a small structure and started getting street children, orphans, children saved from.antisocial elements etc. We had a total of 30 children and we gave them good shelter, food, clothing and the best education with medical care. Above all this, we were able to bring them up spiritually teaching them the word of God and sending them to Sunday school.

Childerns Minstry/Youth meeting

Convention

Conventions were conducted every year in Bangalore city, Thirumaanuur, Kadagampaadi, Hassan and Latur (Maharashtra).

OUR Church

As per God's guidance, in the year 1998, we started our ministry with a single soul in a small hut in Kalhalli Bangalore. There was none to support or encourage our ministry except God. We underwent a lot of trials and tribulations. We were persecuted during the worship services but the God who called us was faithful who upheld us by His grace. After 3 years, our worship place was shifted to a rented building in Jayaraj Nagar Ulsoor. The persecutions continued even there. After 7 long years having worshipped there, God's favour was bestowed on us and we shifted our worship center to Wheeler Rd Cox town in the year 2011.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift for having successfully made us to complete 25 years in this ministry where the Lord has been the head of the church.

To all those who are reading this: Please pray, encourage, participate and do support our mission and vision.
" God often uses small matches to light great torches".
