Pentecostal Churches are a branch of Christianity that emphasizes a direct personal experience with God through the Holy Spirit. They believe in the gifts of the Spirit, such as speaking in tongues, healing, and prophecy, which are seen as signs of God's presence and power in the lives of believers. Worship services are often lively and expressive, featuring music, prayer, and spontaneous expressions of faith. Founded in the early 20th century, Pentecostalism has grown rapidly and now includes many denominations and independent churches worldwide. Key events, like the Azusa Street Revival in 1906, played a significant role in spreading Pentecostal beliefs and practices. Today, Pentecostal Churches are known for their vibrant worship and community engagement.
