Welcome to the IPHC Archives and Research Center
Vision statement: To educate the people affiliated with the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, Pentecostal scholars, and the public on the history of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. To share the rich resources in Spirit-led teaching, preaching, worship, art, and education that we have accumulated over the years. We endeavor to make theological, historical, biographical, and autobiographical books available to the IPHC as well as any individual interested in our denomination. We hope that our stories can be shared in order to inspire others to see how the lives and efforts of hard-working, Spirit-filled people have made a significant difference in our communities, our country, and the world.
Mission statement: We seek to collect items related to the International Pentecostal Holiness denomination and its people and to make them accessible to all through education, displays, a reading room and research center, and free online access. We also seek to highlight the history of the IPHC in the state of Oklahoma, since that is where our archives is located.
Purpose: The OKC Archives and Research Center serves several purposes:
- To provide and to care for resources for those who wish to know more about IPHC history,
- To make our resources easily accessible whenever possible,
- To engage in outreach such as the IPHC blog or presentations to make our history known,
- To collect donated items and to celebrate the legacies of those who have served God through their work with the IPHC,
- To keep administrative records for the Global Ministry Center and the IPHC conferences as needed,
- To work with other archives, within and outside of the IPHC, to share our historical resources in digital form.
