Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith

A beacon of faith in Philadelphia, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith has a rich history. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith isn’t just a building. It’s a testament to the enduring power of belief. Founded in 1930 by Bishop Sherrod C. Johnson right here in Philadelphia, the church quickly expanded its reach. From the bustling streets of Philadelphia to communities across the country, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith spread its message. It extended from New England down to Florida and stretched as far west as California. After Bishop Johnson’s passing in 1961, the church’s leadership transitioned to Bishop S. McDowell Shelton, who later passed the torch to Bishop Kenneth “Omega” Shelton. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith weathered storms, including a leadership dispute in 2012, and emerged stronger, its foundation unshaken. The church’s current location at 440-448 West Penn Street in Philadelphia serves as a hub for its diverse congregation. Today, the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith continues its mission under the leadership of Bishop Shelton Rapha Chabash Luke. It remains a vibrant center for worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth, embracing its Oneness Pentecostal tradition.
