PORVA FOUNDERS, BISHOP JOE & JO FORBUSH
In 1988, they brought their family to Richmond to begin making their God-given dreams a reality. They came to this city with a tremendous desire and a deep passion to help minister to those in need and to help them develop a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Together, they started The Pentecostals of Richmond (PORVA).
For over 34 years, Bishop & Sis. Forbush have poured their hearts and souls into the people of this city... loving them, serving them, teaching them the Word and helping people find healing and salvation. Under their apostolic ministry, countless lives have been eternally affected and we are forever grateful.
In January 2023, Bishop Forbush moved to the roll of Bishop as he handed the pastoral baton to his son, Pastor Jason. PORVA deeply loves and honors this dynamic couple for their faithful dedication and unselfish love to our church family.

Loving God
Building a relationship with God is our first priority at The Pentecostals, and our worship services are the perfect place to start doing just that. As a culturally diverse congregation, we come together weekly to express our love for God in a Spirit filled, contemporary worship environment. Whether we are just starting our Christian journey or we are seasoned in our relationship with Jesus Christ, we seek to express our faith and devotion along with other believers.

Creating Community
Our Small Groups are prime opportunities for us to develop meaningful friendships within our church family as we grow in faith through the study of God’s Word. These home groups provide comfortable and safe settings for us to build authentic relationships with people who have the same goal - to better know and serve Jesus Christ. As we learn and share in interactive Bible studies, we are encouraged to live out the truths that we discover.

Growing in Truth
We understand that becoming a better Christian requires a mix of education and action. We believe that God has a specific purpose for each individual to discover and respond to. It’s our goal to empower, equip, and encourage believers as they take the next step in their journey towards becoming more like Jesus.

As we continue to serve the Richmond community, we are also committed to using our talents and gifts to help our world reach heaven.
