The Dunamis Institute is a ministry of Presbyterian-Reformed Minsitries International (PRMI). PRMI's foundation of faith is articulated in the great creeds of the Church universal especially the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed.
The Apostles Creed
"We believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made; who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would energize our faith: the dynamic power of God at work in ordinary lives, enabling us to live like him. He put it like this: "You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high." Luke 24:48-49 The Dunamis Institute has been created to help people experience and live in the reality of this promise. It provides a unique combination of systematic teaching, active participation, inspired worship, dynamic prayer and intentional debriefing, all focused on nurturing participants' understanding and experience. 'Dunamis' (doo-nuh-miss) is simply the Greek word that is translated 'power', from which we get such words as 'dynamic' and 'dynamo.' |

Pentecost Resources
Pentecost is not only a celebration of the resurrection, but the beginning of a new life in Jesus Christ. Just before leaving his disciples, Jesus promised that he would send the Holy Spirit to empower them to be his witnesses (Acts 1:4,5,8). On Pentecost, this promise was fulfilled, the Holy Spirit was poured out and the disciples were baptized with the Holy Spirit.
We hope these resources are helpful as you prepare to engage the celebration of this amazing shift in history - a shift that calls us into the joys and challenges of participating with the work of the Holy Spirit. Simply provide your name and email address and receive instant access to the resources in our Dunamis Institute Learning Center.
We offer these free resources for making this Pentecost a time of praying for the empowering of the Holy Spirit.
