The purpose of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America is to provide a framework for fellowship, dialogue, and cooperation between the various Pentecostal and Charismatic denominations, churches, and ministries in North America that agree with the purposes and goals of the organization. Since these churches and fellowships share a common history of Holy Spirit renewal and an overriding goal of evangelizing the world, they wish to join in a common witness to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh in the last days.

It is the desire of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America to give expression to the inherent principles of spiritual unity and fellowship among Pentecostal believers, leaving inviolate the existing forms of government adopted by its members and recognizing that every freedom and privilege enjoyed by any group shall remain its undisturbed possession.

The Pentecostal/Charismatic Churches of North America are committed to the message of reconciliation through the cross and unity in the power of the Holy Spirit, which became a reality on the Day of Pentecost and was demonstrated at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Azusa Street at the beginning of the twentieth century.
