About
We invite you to explore the foundational principles that guide our faith and shape our community.

We Are Praise Temple, VA

We are a community of faith committed to following the teachings of Jesus Christ. To promote the Apostolic Faith as taught by the Apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thereby advance the day when all men shall do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God.

What We Believe

  • We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God.
  • We believe in the Oneness of God—that there are three manifestations of the one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • We believe the name by which God is known is Lord Jesus Christ.
  • We believe in the virgin birth, death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ.
  • We believe in the baptism in water in the name of Jesus according to Acts 2:38, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4. This constitutes the new birth spoken of by the Lord Jesus Christ in John 3:5.
  • We believe in living a holy, consecrated, and sanctified life.
  • We believe in the translation of the saints, commonly known as the rapture (I Thess. 4:13-17).
