The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (P.A.O.C) was formed as a result of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the beginning of this century. The P.A.O.C.'s clear goals are to preserve purity of doctrine and purity of ministry.
The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada recognize that this fellowship of local churches is committed to the spreading of the gospel to the world. We purpose to participate in the threefold ministry of the church: ministry to the Lord through worship, ministry to the church in equipping saints, and ministry to the world in reaching the lost.
- We believe the Bible to be the innerrant Word of God that declares the whole counsel of God.
- We believe that salvation is by faith alone in the finished work of Christ on the cross, and that God offers the gift of eternal life to all that believe.
- We believe that Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a work of grace that is separate and distinct from salvation and that Christ offers baptism to all who believe.
- We believe that supernatural signs, wonders and gifts of the Holy Spirit accompany the preaching of the gospel and that divine healing has been provided through Christ's death on the cross.
- We believe that Jesus is coming again and that His return may occur at any moment. We believe He will reward those who follow Him and that He will punish those who reject Him.
- We believe that God is calling people to dedicate themselves to the fulfillment of the Great Commission in these last days.
For this reason and purpose has Mapleview Community Church been established and we solemnly dedicate ourselves to serving Him in this community to the best of our ability.
