Really???? Even my church that is considered "Bapticostal" does. It is part of the "Understanding God and His Covenants" class and then occasionally done at a special service for everybody.

Bless you!
Being one who doesn't care for her feet, I am thankful I don't have to let someone wash them. It's not a matter of me not wanting to wash someone else's but rather the other way around... if they want to show me their servanthood.. they can bring me a glass of water in Jesus name.
Seriously.. our church has never had a footwashing service in many many years. I believe there was one when I was a pre-teen.. if I remember correctly. I remember leaving my pantyhose on.. and washing my friends feet and wondering if she ever bathed.

Both are random or just the footwashing? I thought almost all OP churches held communion on a regular basis.
Both are random. My former pastor didn't do it often at all. I've had a communion & footwashing service twice in 6 1/2 years since I've been administrating it......
We always do communion AND footwashing together. Never have done just one or the other.

Jesus said "as oft as ye do this..." He left it up to personal discretion how often it is done. Personally I don't feel comfortable with setting a time and date as this "ritualizes" the practice. It should be as often as the Lord leads. If a set date is preferrable, I would think just before Easter.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
I was at the Plaster Rock church for the communion and footwashing this past New Years. I had never been in a footwashing service before. The spirit moved through that church in a powerful way.
At my home church though, I don't think they do footwashing. Sometimes they do communion in people's homes ("house churches").
