The Pentecost for Life Foundation supports Christian leaders in churches, ministries, schools, neighborhoods, and community groups. We welcome anyone who follows Jesus Christ and wants to deepen their biblical knowledge, grow spiritually, and share their faith. Through our ministries and institute, we help leaders, churches, and groups serve those in need, connect people of all ages in social justice work, and pursue justice with wisdom, compassion, and dignity in our diverse and constantly changing world.

Inside Pentecost for Life

Our Guiding Principles

Every program, broadcast, and resource we create flows from these four commitments.

Biblical Literacy

Pentecost for Life Institute seeks to equip people to understand the Bible and interpret it responsibly by focusing on issues of translation and hermeneutics. This ministry helps believers move from reading Scripture to discerning how Scripture shapes faithful leadership, public witness, and daily life.

Public Witness

Pentecost for Life Institute aims to offer practical models that help leaders, volunteers, churches, and other groups take part in projects that support vulnerable and marginalized people. We also want to help these groups create programs that use new technologies, like artificial intelligence, in ways that respect human dignity and promote justice and mercy.

Intergenerational Collaboration

Pentecost for Life Institute shares Bible-based ideas and models to help communities of all ages work together. We support young leaders, value the wisdom of experienced leaders, and welcome everyone to join in social justice work. Our aim is to help churches and other groups become active communities where every generation can lead, learn, and work toward a shared mission.
