PRC MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of the collection on the campus will be to highlight works by Pentecostals and Charismatics, work about Pentecostalism and the Charismatic Movement, and the people in those movements. Titles will thus cover the Pentecostal Holiness Church, the Assemblies of God, and other bodies identified as part of the Pentecostal-Charismatic family of faith.

The collection will focus on works that support the curriculum of the institution in the areas of doctrine, education, missions, pastoral theology, church history, biography, creative writing, sociology, history, and theology. In addition, works by alumni and faculty will be added as they become available.

Most rare or highly fragile work of a general nature will be donated to the IPHC Archives collection for more adequate preservation and care.
