The Way International denies being a denomination. Among its notable characteristics: there are no special days set for household fellowship meetings, which are held regularly and on an informal basis, commonly in homes. Communion is observed at least yearly. In home fellowship meetings, there is teaching, singing, praying and speaking in tongues, as well as occasional listening to The Way's Sunday Teaching Service. Most local leaders are not ordained. Pentecost (Acts 2:1) is the movement's most important day in the calendar, as opposed to Christmas or Easter.
