History of The Apostolic Chuch
The Apostolic Church is a Pentecostal Christian denomination which can trace its origins back to the
1904-1905 Welsh Revival. Despite the relatively recent origin of the denomination, the
church seeks to stand for first century Christianity in its faith, practices, and government.
The purpose of the denomination is summed up by one prominent Apostolic writer as:
"to make known world-wide the forgiveness of sins through the atoning death of Christ; the baptism in
water by immersion; the baptism of the Holy Ghost with signs following; the nine gifts of the Holy Ghost; the five
gifts of our Ascended Lord; and the vision called in the New Testament, 'the Church which is His Body'."
The worldwide vision of the church is evidenced by a strong missionary concern. The movement which commenced in
Welsh-speaking villages of south Wales had, by the end of the 20th century, grown to over six million members in
more than 70 nations. The largest national church is the Apostolic Church of Nigeria, with over 4.5 million members and a national
convention centre that seats over 100,000.
Ablaze UK (formerly The International Apostolic Convention) has taken place annually over the first week in
August since 1916. Until 2002 it was located at the village of Pen-y-groes, Carmarthenshire, and since then in the city of
Swansea.
Pen-y-groes is the site of the Apostolic Church School of Ministry (founded as the Apostolic Church
International Bible School in 1933) the oldest Pentecostal college in Great Britain.
The College is currently Closed but the facilities are being used by a Korean Church as a Bible College.
The College was closed before and during that time was used as the first initial Rehab centre for Teen Challenge
set up by John Macey. There are now also Bible Schools in eleven other countries.
The Apostolic Church Nigeria is a Christian church in
Nigeria. It is one of the biggest churches in Nigeria with over
4.5million members and a National Temple that seats over 10,000
worshippers in a service. History
The Apostolic Church Nigeria was borne out from the Apostolic Church
of the United Kingdom through three Missionary delegates who arrived in
Lagos, Nigeria on September 23, 1931; they were the late Pastors D.P.
Williams (President), A. Turnbull (Vice-President), and W.J. Williams
(International Prophet). Prior to their coming, a great revival started
in the churches in fellowship with Faith Tabernacle Congregation of
Nigeria which resulted to much persecutions in 1930.
In 1931, after exchange of doctrines and other fundamental scriptural
truths between the missionaries and leaders of Faith Tabernacle
Congregation of Nigeria, the leaders of the fellowship decided to
affiliate with The Apostolic Church of the United Kingdom and adopted
The Apostolic Church as a denominational name together with its
principles and practices. Doctrine And Belief
The Apostolic Church Nigeria is built on a fundamental doctrinal
belief based on the Holy Scriptures. Its theological beliefs are
summarised in its confession of faith, known as the Tenets, which read
as follows: The one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons in unity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The inherent corruptness of man through
the Fall; The necessity of repentance and regeneration by grace and
through faith in Christ alone and the eternal separation from God of the
finally unrepentant. The Virgin birth, sinless life, atoning
death, triumphant resurrection, ascension and continuing intercession
of our Lord Jesus Christ; His second coming and millennial reign upon
earth.
The Justification and sanctification of believers through the finished work of Christ. The baptism of the Holy spirit for believers with supernatural signs, empowering the church for its mission in the world. The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the Church and ministry to the world. The Sacraments of Baptism by immersion and of the Lord’s Supper The divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scriptures. Christ’s leadership of the Church
through apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, elders and
deacons, for unity, maturity and growth of the church. The security of the believer as he remains in Christ The privilege and responsibility of bringing tithes and offerings to the Lord.
The Constitution of the Apostolic Church in the United Kingdom states
that “These Tenets shall forever be the doctrinal standard of the
Apostolic Church and shall not be subject to change in any way
whatsoever.” Organization And administration
The Apostolic Church Nigeria which is administered as a single entity
by the National Council is headed by a President. The current President
is Pastor G.O. Olutola who succeeded Pastor E.E. Okon in 2011.
The church is categorized into five sections called fields with a
view of bonding members in a spiritual and heallty fellowship. The
fields include:
The Lagos and Western/Northern Areas Territory (LAWNA),
The Cross River State Field,
The Igbo Field,
The Maritime Field,The Akwa Ibom Field.
National Covention
The National Convention is a biannual gathering of all The Apostolic
Church members at the National Temple, Lagos State, Nigeria.
