OUR THEOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
The framework of Black Pentecostalism remains a dynamic and influential force in advancing the Christian faith, serving as a pivotal catalyst within Global Pentecostalism.
Our worldview is profoundly shaped by our lived Pentecostal experiences and deep convictions that our existence emanates from the One who is Holy and eternal.
We recognize that our being encompasses intellect, emotions, body, and spirituality—dimensions that interact holistically to contribute to our wholeness. This integrated approach reflects our understanding of human nature and divine interaction as articulated in Black Pentecostal theology.
In acknowledging the roles of resilience, resistance, and suffering, we affirm that these experiences cultivate a profound faith in the Holy Spirit’s power. This faith enables us to manifest God’s will and effect positive change in the world.
Driven by our commitment to examine, engage with, and apply Black Pentecostal frameworks, we seek to shape and enrich our faith practice. Our goal is to foster human flourishing through rigorous scholarship, practical application, and community engagement, reflecting our dedication to both theological insight and transformative action.
