At Downtown Church of Tulsa, a United Pentecostal Church (UPCI), we believe in the Bible as the inspired Word of God, written by 40 different men over a period of 3,700 years. It reveals the truth about God, creation, sin, salvation, and the path to eternal life. We believe in one God, the Creator of all, who revealed Himself through Jesus Christ, the ultimate sacrifice for sin.

​

Sin entered the world through Adam, and the consequence is death, but salvation is available through Jesus Christ's blood. Salvation includes repentance, baptism in Jesus' name for the remission of sins, and receiving the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in tongues. Water baptism is essential, and the name of Jesus is the only name for baptism. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is vital to being part of God's Kingdom and is evidenced by speaking in tongues, as seen in the Book of Acts.

​

We also believe in living a holy life through the power of the Holy Spirit, as holiness is essential to seeing the Lord. Divine healing, provided through the sacrifice of Jesus, is available to those who believe. The second coming of Christ will bring the resurrection of the dead and the judgment of all souls, determining their eternal destiny. The righteous will live eternally with God, and the unrighteous will face eternal punishment.

​

Through these beliefs, we hold to the hope of salvation, holiness, healing, and eternal life through Jesus Christ.
