A Foundation Built on Bold Conviction
Our journey began in 1919, ignited by the unwavering faith of Bishop S.C. Johnson. A visionary leader and a fearless advocate for the Apostolic doctrine, he established the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith on a foundation of unshakeable conviction.
A Symphony of Faith and Song
Following Bishop Johnson's legacy, Bishop S. McDowell Shelton ushered in an era of spiritual growth and expansion. A gifted musician and a charismatic leader, he understood the power of music and meditation to uplift the soul and draw people closer to God.
A Guardian of Spiritual Purity
Bishop Nehemiah Shelton, though his tenure was brief, left an indelible mark on the Church. He served as a steadfast reminder of the importance of spiritual integrity and the pursuit of holiness. His unwavering focus on the "remnant," the true followers of God, continues to inspire us to strive for a deeper connection with the Divine.
Leading with Vision and Passion
Today, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith thrives under the dynamic leadership of Bishop Anthoneé J. Patterson. A gifted preacher and a dedicated Bible scholar, Bishop Patterson's ministry is characterized by a deep understanding of scripture and a passion for sharing the Gospel with the world.
As we celebrate over a century of faith, we stand on the shoulders of giants, inspired by the dedication and sacrifice of those who came before us. We are a community united by a shared belief in the power of the Gospel and a commitment to living lives that reflect the love and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Join us as we continue this extraordinary journey of faith, carrying the torch of truth into the future and sharing the message of salvation with a world in need.
