Pastoral staff
Pastor John and Sandy Carlo
As the Pastor of Christian Pentecostal Church, my wife, Sandra, and I would like to invite you to come and be blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our church is the oldest Pentecostal Church on Staten Island. We began as a prayer meeting in 1923 and God has allowed us to grow into a large multi-cultural congregation.
We believe in prayer and in the Power of God to change lives, to change circumstances, and to change hearts. God can heal our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. We have witnessed many of God’s miracles in the lives of people from all backgrounds.
“Dare to believe” that God can change your life and circumstances and give you a new beginning.
There are many areas of ministry offered by our church which will bless every member of your family. We invite you to browse through our website and see what God is doing at CPC.
Welcome to our church family.
