About Us.
Buckeye Hollow Church
Buckeye Hollow Church is an independent Pentecostal Holiness Church that upholds a belief in the Trinity: the Father, Son (Jesus), and Holy Ghost(Spirit). Our services are characterized by expressive forms of worship, including shouting, running, jumping, and speaking in tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance. As a Bible-believing church, we emphasize the importance of Holiness both internally and externally, adhering to a Biblical conservative approach to our dress and conduct.
At Buckeye Hollow Church, attendees find the freedom to worship God in the Beauty of Holiness. We feature spiritual gospel singing on a nightly basis, with singers and musicians who, while not professionally trained, are blessed and anointed by the Lord. Our primary goal in all activities is to glorify God and allow the Lord to have His way among us.
Our church has established a reputation for being a vibrant and spiritually dynamic place of worship. Bro. L.D. Moore once remarked that our church was endowed with a "Special Anointing" from God. Despite the tendency of the world to commercialize spirituality, we remain committed to experiencing the genuine move of the Holy Ghost in our services. We invite you to join us and participate in this authentic worship experience.

Church Beliefs
Trinity - Triune Godhead
We understand and uphold the belief in the Triune nature of God, consisting of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost the Spirit. Each person of the Godhead has a distinct role, yet they function in perfect unity. God the Father is recognized as the Creator and the one who knows the precise timing of Jesus’ return. Jesus, the Son of God, serves as the Savior of humanity, having sacrificed Himself for our sins. The Holy Ghost is present on Earth following Jesus’ ascension, tasked with convicting individuals of their sins, comforting believers, and guiding Christians in their spiritual journeys, and giving Power to those who is baptized in the Holy Ghost with the Evidence by Speaking in Tongues!
The concept of the Triune God is first illustrated in the Book of Genesis, where God the Father speaks to Jesus and the Holy Ghost during the creation of humanity. This can be seen in Genesis 1:26-27:
“26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him.”
Further affirmation of the three persons of the Godhead occurs in the New Testament during the baptism of Jesus, as described in Matthew 3:16-17:
“16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
In these passages, all three persons of the Godhead are present together: God the Father is speaking about His Son, Jesus is undergoing baptism, and the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove.
There are many more places that we derive our beliefs from scriptures such as Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14, and John 14:10,26

Salvation
We hold the belief that the only path to Heaven and eternal life is through the salvation offered by the blood of Jesus Christ. As stated in John 14:6, Jesus declared, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
This salvation is accessible to all individuals, as affirmed in Romans 10:13, which proclaims, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
We assert that acknowledging one’s sins and possessing a repentant heart are essential to attaining salvation. According to 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." Furthermore, true repentance comes from a place of godly sorrow, as noted in 2 Corinthians 7:10: "For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of."
For a person to be saved, it is necessary to experience the conviction of the Holy Ghost, feel sorrow for their sins, confess to the Lord their transgressions, and request forgiveness from Jesus. This process is straightforward and accessible to all.

Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Speaking in Tongues
We believe that salvation is available to everyone who earnestly seeks forgiveness for their sins. However, the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is understood as a distinct (Separate) experience, evidenced by of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. John the Baptist emphasized this in Matthew 3:11, stating, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire."
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus addresses the coming of the Holy Ghost multiple times. He mentions in John 15:26, "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify [speak] of me.” Furthermore, In Luke 24:49, He says, "And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high." This idea is reiterated in Acts 1:8, where it is said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
It is our belief that the promise of the Holy Ghost's power is extended to Christians as a second blessing following salvation. To receive this, an individual must earnestly seek God and align themselves with His will, living a holy and sanctified life. The manifestation of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is evidenced by speaking in other tongues, as noted in Acts 2:4: "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
