VISION
GO FORWARD TOGETHER | MELANGKAH BERSAMA
Our church organization's vision of "Moving Forward Together" is rooted in the belief that unity, fellowship, and shared purpose are the keys to achieving spiritual growth, community transformation, and lasting impact. We envision our churches as one body, supporting and encouraging each other on their faith journeys. Our vision is to create a welcoming space where everyone feels valued, accepted, and loved. We believe everyone can use their God-given gifts and talents to serve others and make a positive difference in the world. Through prayer, worship, and discipleship, we strive to move forward as a united church family, growing in faith, impacting lives, and fulfilling our calling to share the message of God's love, grace, and redemption.
HISTORY
The seeds of the United Pentecostal Church of Malaysia started with three young Malaysians. They were in search of business opportunities and adventure. But the Lord Jesus Christ was preparing them for a great purpose in Malaysia. The young men found something that they did not expect – the transforming love of Jesus Christ…

OUR BELIEFS
THE WORD
The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the authority for salvation and Christian living. (See II Timothy 3:15-17.)
GOD
There is one God, who has revealed Himself as Father; through His Son, in redemption; and as the Holy Spirit, by emanation. Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh. He is both God and man. (See Deuteronomy 6:4; Ephesians 4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16.)
SIN AND SALVATION
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. (See Romans 3:23-25; 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9.)
THE GOSPEL
The saving gospel is the good news that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose again. We obey the gospel (II Thessalonians 1:8; I Peter 4:17) by repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (burial), and the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial sign of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance (resurrection). (See I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4.)
CHRISTIAN LIVING
As Christians, we are to love God and others. We should live a holy life inwardly and outwardly and worship God joyfully. The supernatural gifts of the Spirit, including healing, are for the church today. (See Mark 12:28-31; II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10.)
THE FUTURE
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. In the end will be the final resurrection and the final judgment. The righteous will inherit eternal life, and the unrighteous eternal death. (See I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15.)
