Allentown Holiness Church is a God-loving, Bible-believing, People-loving, Family-friendly, Trinitarian, Pentecostal-style church. We are a church where you can meet with God through Jesus Christ. And, you can find healing for your soul, mind, body, and circumstances. It is a place where you can be encouraged and uplifted by people who care about you.

Please know that you are invited to visit us.  Whatever your situation, status, age, or background, you will find a warm welcome at Allentown Holiness Church.  Just drop in for a visit and verify for yourself that this is true.

The following is especially important…

On a personal level, God is for you. God cares about you and your circumstances. God wants the best for you. God wants to bless you. God wants to have a committed relationship with you. God wants you to have wonderful people and blessings in every area of your life.

On a broader level, you exist for very specific reasons. God has meaningful purposes and important works for you. You have talents — whether latent or developed — whether you are aware of them or not — that God wants to use for good. God wants to work through you to alter the course of peoples lives for the better.  In short, God wants to bless other people through you.

Allentown Holiness Church is a place where all this can begin to happen for you, now.

Let’s go a bit farther…

The Bible reveals many wonderful things to us about the nature of God and His will towards humankind. It also reveals the way by which you and I can receive His blessings. When God sent His Only-Begotten Son Jesus Christ to this earth to reconcile mankind to Himself, He had an angelic band announce a very specific message to us:

“on earth peace, good will toward men”

Peace and goodness is what God wants for you and I. It’s true. There are many, many places throughout the Bible that reveal God wanting us to enjoy blessings, goodness, abundance, and joy.

But here is the key: the way by which we connect with God and position ourselves to receive His blessings is through His Son Jesus Christ. Consequently, it is the passion and desire of Allentown Holiness Church to help as many people as possible find God through Jesus Christ so that as many people as possible can enjoy a life blessed by God.

Bottom line, God wants the best for you and I. It all starts with you and I accepting and embracing a true relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It continues with you and I growing into and living a life that is pleasing before God through Jesus Christ. The problem is, we can’t do that by ourselves. But, we can do it together as we follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If you are within driving distance of Semmes, Alabama, come to church with us. We would love to have you.

1. We have different backgrounds, experiences, and circumstances. But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that God is Heavenly Father of us all and Jesus Christ is Savior and Redeemer for us all.
2. Loving God is the most important thing.  Loving one another is the second most important thing.
3. We need God.  We need each other.
4. You are meant to be a part of God’s family.  That’s right, God wants you to be a part of His family.  God’s family is where you belong.
5. You need people who know you and care about you.  You can find such people where there are people who know and care about God.
6. It was never God’s plan for you to go through life alone or empty.
7. Knowing about God and what He wants us to be and do is not the same thing as being and doing what God wants us to be and do.
8. No matter who you are, where you are from, or what you have done, there is hope, help, and overcoming available to you. All these are available to you as a gift from God Almighty through Jesus Christ.
9. For most of us, we don’t naturally recognize or grasp the importance and essentialness of being in right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.  And so, we feel a nagging sense of incompleteness, emptiness, lack of meaning, guilt, and shame as we go through life. But once we understand there is a God-shaped blank inside of all of us … and that Jesus Christ is the key to getting that God-shaped blank filled and satisfied … then everything changes in us and in our future for the better.
10. Religion, lifestyle, and church membership. These are not the same thing as having a true relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
11. Religious zealots and bigots always end up disappointing, hurting, harming, and tearing down.  True Children of God always end up encouraging, inspiring, helping, blessing, and lifting up.
12. It is always a smart thing to join up with people who are sincerely and genuinely striving to live their lives in a way that pleases God.
13. Church is a place for people.  Church attendance is good for people.  God instructs people to go to church.
14. Happiness will elude you until you fully surrender and submit to God and His will for your life.  So, move from where you are to where God wants you to be.  You will be glad you did.
15. The more people honor, reverence, and obey God, the better our communities and our world will be.
16. Want to hear from God?  Read the Bible He gave you.  Making time to read the Bible is super important.  Reading the Bible is the only way to personally find out who God is and what He requires of us.
17. Making time to pray is super important.  Prayer is how we maintain our relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
18. Reading the Bible and praying shifts how we think and feel about things for the better.
19. God wants us to receive from Him and then give to others.
20. God wants us to live our life in a way that pleases Him. And, he wants us to inspire and lead others to live their life in a way that pleases Him.
21. Every Christian who is in right relationship with God through Jesus Christ was first a sinner who repented.
22. Every true Christian has on occasion had to repent again.
23. God knows everything about you … including all your worst … and He STILL wants you to be in right relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.
24. God wants us to relationally move closer to Him through Jesus Chris.  The closer to God we get, the more satisfying, fulfilling, and meaningful life is.
25. Want to improve your life, family, circumstances?  Fully surrender and submit to God through Jesus Christ.
26. You cannot heal your soul or fix your life by yourself. Soul-healing and life-fixing can only happen after you get in right relationship with God through Jesus Chris.
27. There is absolutely nothing that fulfills us like being in right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
28. Everyone can get hope, peace, joy, and victory. This is true because everyone can get in right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
29. Everyone can have an authentic, genuine, and enduring transformation in their life that is meaningful, satisfying, and beautiful.  This is true because everyone can get in right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
30. Repentance is essential to becoming a saved child of God.  Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Redeemer is essential to becoming a saved child of God.
31. Jesus Christ is solely and uniquely qualified to forgive us of our sins and reconcile us back to God the Father.
32. When there is nothing you can do, God can do anything!
33. When people lose their sense of God, they also lose their common sense.
34. The person who turns to God for guidance and assistance has a great advantage over those who do not.
35. The things of God range from simple to deep.  There are things that you will not understand at first.  Commit yourself to letting God progressively reveal Himself and His ways to you.
36. Do some of the things stated above not make sense to you?  Come to church and find out more about what they mean.

Reverend Eugene Futral is our Pastor at Allentown Holiness Church. Pastor Futral is a man characterized by God-first, love, compassion, experience, wisdom, humility, and dedication. Here are what these characteristics look like in Pastor Futral:

• God first means prioritizing God’s will above one’s own will.  God first means wanting the Spirit of God to have the spotlight and preeminence instead of one’s self. God first means always wanting God lifted up instead of one’s self.

• Godly Love wants Salvation, deliverance, peace, joy, and goodness for everyone. And, these are gifts that anyone can receive from God through the Lord Jesus Christ.

• While we don’t like admitting it, all of us have sinned. Godly Compassion strives to bring people to Jesus Christ for two key reasons.  One, so their sins can be forgiven and forgotten.  Two, so they can become a completed person with a better life and a better future.

• Experience is knowing how to gently bring people to Jesus Christ so HE can work with them. It never works when a man tries to whip-shape others into being what that man thinks they should be. But, it always works when Jesus Christ lovingly shapes people into what HE knows is best and right for them.

• Wisdom wants others lifted up in the freedom and development that accompanies the Spirit of the Lord.

• Humility is being strong and mature enough to let God move, work, and speak through whomever HE wills. It never works when a man foolishly tries to be the only channel through which God moves. But, it always works when God has free-rein to move, work, and speak as HE chooses.

• Dedication puts the well-being of God’s Kingdom and God’s people first. Anyone can be altruistic for a short period of time and while circumstances are good. But, putting God’s interests first year after year and through the hard times takes dedication and integrity.

Now, the above characteristics should describe every pastor. Sadly, this is not the case. Sadly, there are way too many churches … that are supposed to be the House of God … but they are not because they have a pastor and/or church board who:

• Pushes hard to lift their self up above others.

• Holds down and undermines others so they themselves can have the preeminence.

• Does not truly love or have compassion.

• Lacks the wisdom needed to discretely lead God’s people.

• Are driven by ego, arrogance, and pride.

• Are dedicated to their self, their interests, and their prosperity.

But Pastor Futral does not exhibit any of these anti-pastor characteristics. The result is a wonderful church at Allentown Holiness Church where God has the preeminence and the love of God prevails.
