About the
New York District UPCI
The New York District of the United Pentecostal Church International is a fellowship of Apostolic churches across Upstate New York, united under the lordship of Jesus Christ and the mission of reaching every person with the transforming power of the gospel.
The United Pentecostal Church International is a global movement of Apostolic Pentecostal believers, and the New York District represents that mission at the local level — in neighborhoods, cities, and communities across Upstate New York. Our churches are places where people encounter the living God through repentance, water baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues (Acts 2:38).
We are not a denomination built on tradition alone — we are a movement built on the Word of God and the fire of revival. From our first churches to our growing network today, the New York District has been marked by bold evangelism, compassionate ministry, and uncompromising commitment to the Apostolic message.
Our Mission
To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Upstate New York, plant and strengthen local churches, equip believers for ministry, and reach the lost with the message of salvation.
