PREAMBLE

The True Churches of the Apostolic Faith, Inc., is the continuation of the great revival that began at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost A.D. 33 and is built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ himself, being the chief cornerstone. Ephesians 2:19-20. This church has suffered great persecutions, and many of her followers have been killed, but it survived. According to the word of our Lord, the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. St. Matthew 16:18.

At various intervals throughout the past centuries, the followers of the Apostolic Faith and Doctrine have become prominent through great revivals in Great Britain, the United States and Canada. In the days of Tertullium (A.D. 207) Chrysostom (4th century) Christians of the 13th century, the early Quakers, Wesley, Whitfield and Irving, the gift and manifestations of the Apostolic Church were much in evidence as the revivals spirit swept over the country.

The revival broke out in Kansas City (1901) and moved to Texas, finally, it reached Los Angeles, California (1906). From whence it spread throughout the whole earth, entering into nearly every nation penetrating the heathen darkness of India, China, Africa and Isle of the Seas, fulfilling the great command of our Lord, “ Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel.” (St. Matthew 28:18-19. St. Luke 24:47-49. Acts 1:4-11) Great was the witness to the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Ghost. (St. Luke 24:48. Acts 2:4). Soon there were places of worship erected called by names such as: Apostolic Faith Mission, Pentecostal Mission, Apostolic Faith Assembly, Full Gospel Assembly, Mission Assembly of God, et cetera.

​

Charter:               Always maintain a place of worship for all nations, provide dormitory for the needy, and freedom of worship for all people under the Apostolic Doctrine.

​

Our Aim:              To unite all people of all races to God by the Gospel of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Let men see what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God, and that we  be blameless and harmless, the Sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom we shine as lights in the world, holding forth the  word of life. To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to guide their feet into the way of peace. (Titus 2:13-14, I Peter 2:9, Philippians 2:15-16, St. Luke 1:79).

​

Our Duty:            To visit the fatherless and the widow, to lift the fallen, visit the sick, support the weak, encourage the fainthearted, comfort the feeble minded, point the lost to the way of salvation, encourage all believers to see a spirit-filled life (Ephesians 5:18, Acts 19:1-16),  and be ready for the coming of our Lord (James 1:27, I Thessalonians : 4:16. Mark 16:15-18, St Matthew 25:1-13).

​

It is our duty as partakers of the Royal Priesthood, to offer supplications, prayers, intercessions and give thanks for all men, for kings, governors, magistrates, and all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty (I Peter 2-9, Rev 1:6, I Timothy 2:1-4, Roman 13:1-7). To submit ourselves to every ordinance of man for the conscience sake, whither it be king supreme, or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by Him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of them that do well. Pay tribute also for they are God’s Ministers. Render therefore to all their dues tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom, honor to whom honor. Owe no man anything but to love one another, so long as these ordinances do not infringe upon the liberty of service toward God. (I Peter 2:13-17. St. Matthew 22:21).
