A worldwide Christian organization with headquarters in Portland, Oregon. We are a traditional, Bible-believing church, and our services are a time to worship God through music, be encouraged by testimonies of God working in lives today, and hear practical, relevant, Bible-based sermons. Our churches are conservative in nature, following a tradition of Wesleyan holiness practiced by those whom the Holy Spirit descended on at Azusa. We believe the entire Bible is God's infallible Word and uphold the fundamental teachings of New Testament faith. A detailed explanation of the doctrines we hold is available on our website.
Our church sprang from the Azusa Revival of 1906 which took place in Los Angeles, CA. Our founder, Florence Crawford, received the infilling of the Holy Spirit at Azusa and in 1908 moved to Portland, Oregon, and established this ministry. Since then, the work has grown to include hundreds of churches on six continents.
Those who experienced the revival of 1906 began publishing a paper titled "The Apostolic Faith" to report the miracles taking place in their midst. When Florence Crawford moved to Portland, the publishing ministry was placed in her hands and has been a central focus of our organization ever since. Today, "The Apostolic Faith" is produced as a magazine, and our publishing ministry has expanded to include evangelistic tracts, doctrinal booklets, curriculum series for all ages, a daily devotional, and more. These materials are made available in print at our churches, as well as in digital and audio formats on our website.
We hope you can visit us at one of hundreds of locations around the world!
