General guidance · Church of God in Christ (COGIC) churches · not specific to Upper Room Ministries (Upper Room of Greater Gainesville Church of God in Christ)
Expressive, Spirit-led worship, biblically grounded preaching, and a strong sense of community. Services tend to be lively and participatory.
Church of God congregations combine Pentecostal faith with warm, family-oriented community life. First-time guests are always welcomed with genuine hospitality.
What Pentecostal churches generally believe
Pentecostals believe in the Trinity, Jesus Christ as the Son of God who died and rose again, and the Bible as God's Word, and in salvation by grace through faith in Christ. They emphasise the present-day work of the Holy Spirit: baptism in the Holy Spirit (often with speaking in tongues), spiritual gifts, and prayer for healing. Baptism by immersion is for professing believers, and worship is usually expressive and contemporary.
Compared with Catholics: the Catholic Charismatic Renewal shares an openness to spiritual gifts, but Pentecostals hold Scripture alone as final authority, baptise only professing believers, and see baptism and communion as ordinances rather than sacraments. Compared with other evangelicals, the main difference is the emphasis on spiritual gifts.
