What rules do you have to follow to join your church? I just want to know more about how your people worship in their services. Is this a charismatic group? What happens in the worship of the saints?
Any person who has been born again by faith in Jesus Christ may become a member of a local IPHC. Members are expected to hold to the Articles of Faith of the church and to accept the Covenant of Commitment as the standard by which they live.
In terms of worship services, IPHC is very diverse. We are a charismatic group in the sense that we believe all the gifts of the Holy Spirit are active in the church and, in the context of order, should be manifested in worship services and in the lives of Christians. Music styles are very diverse across the church. Many churches use various forms of drama and dance in their worship. Regardless of music style or form, IPHC worships God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Praise, thanksgiving, adoration, offerings, prayers, the Lord's Supper, and hearing the Word of God are all part of worship.
