The motto of the United Pentecostal Church is “The whole Gospel to the whole world!” Our desire is to be a church for all people in every community. The bible describes heaven as a place of all nations, tribes, people, and languages in Revelation 7:9. Although we embrace the diversity of our communities every day, on All Nations Sunday we intentionally take time to celebrate the cultures of our church and community. Heaven is a place for you and our church is a place for you.

Ministering to Communities Around the World

The United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI) is a Oneness Pentecostal organization with churches, ministers, and members across the globe. Our roots are anchored firmly in the bible and a vision for ministering to communities around the world. We embrace our 75+ year mission to carry the whole gospel to the whole world by the whole church. Learn more at www.upci.org 

We recognize that cultures of people from around the world have made North America their home. Through All Nations Sunday we intend to connect to the cultures of our local communities and celebrate our diversity.
