The UPCI emerged out of the Pentecostal movement that began with a Bible school in Topeka, Kansas, in 1901 and with the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, California, in 1906. It traces its organizational roots to 1916, when a large group of Pentecostal ministers began to unite around the teaching of the oneness of God and water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ.

The start of this church has been a lifelong work and calling of God to Pastor Mendenhall and his wife. Pastor Mendenhall and his wife grew up as kids in Soldotna, going to local schools and eventually graduating from Soldotna High school in 1984. Pastor and Mrs. Mendenhall were married in 1985 and began their life and family together in Soldotna.

We believe in salvation as preached by Peter on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38) and throughout the entire New Testament. We believe and teach in One God who is indivisible or separate in any person (Duet. 6:4). He was creator in the beginning, redeemer in Christ, and the Holy Ghost in the New Testament church (Col. 2:9) (2 Cor. 5:19) We believe and teach in the operation of the gifts of the spirit. We believe and teach in the transforming power of God in a person’s life; to bring them out of sin and into his holiness.

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.’
