We are a bible believing church
ABOUT US
We are a bible-believing church, devoted to upholding the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our focus is to worship God through music, share and be encouraged by testimonies of God’s work in our lives today as well as to offer and listen to useful, significant bible-based sermons.
WHO WE RE
The Apostolic Faith Church is a worldwide Christian organization, with headquarters in Portland, Oregon. As a Trinitarian and fundamental church, our doctrinal beliefs are the basic Bible truths, including the definite experiences of salvation, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Since its founding in 1906, our organization has grown and established branch churches across the United States and around the world.
All our congregations enjoy a warm and traditional environment, where we endeavor to preach the Word of God in its fullness and integrity. We currently have more than fifty locations in the United States, and our international outreach extends to most continents, including more than six hundred congregations in Nigeria alone.
A primary means of evangelism in the Apostolic Faith Church is the printing and distribution of Christian literature. We publish a quarterly magazine entitled Higher Way, which is designed to encourage spiritual growth in believers. We also print numerous pamphlets and small booklets meant to lead people to the Lord, and most of them are available in our Library. A unique feature of this ministry is that most of our publications are printed and mailed throughout the world free of charge. In over ninety years of literature ministry, God has provided financially for this outreach through tithes and offerings, though collections are never taken in our services.
Our Mission
- PRAY - We make prayer the basis of every ministry and encourage communion with God as the way we grow to spiritual maturity in Him.
- PREACH - We emphasize the original Pentecostal doctrines of salvation, sanctification, and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, continually striving to develop fully committed disciples of Jesus Christ.
- PUBLISH - We publish the Gospel through the written word, the spoken word, and through our personal lives, daily looking for opportunities to spread the message, “Ye must be born again.”
- OUR MOTTO - Is the Biblical mandate that has faced believers since the dawn of the church “Earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints ” (Jude 3)
