“Did they really hold services under a coconut tree?” a curious voice whispered, gazing at the Faith Apostolic Church. The Faith Apostolic Church, formerly known as St. John’s Pentecostal Church, has come a long way since its humble beginnings. Picture this: the year is 1943. A small group of Pentecostal Christian immigrants from Montserrat gather under a coconut tree, seeking solace and a space to share their faith. These pioneers, Brother James Rodney, Sister Mary Brades, and Sister Alley Browne, laid the foundation for what would become a beacon of faith in St. John’s. Their makeshift sanctuary, a humble shed, echoed with their prayers, hymns, and the resounding message of Pentecostalism. Driven by their devotion, they held prayer meetings at Sister Browne’s home on Alfred Peters Street, nurturing their burgeoning community. The children’s ministry found its haven under the shade of large trees on Dickenson Bay Street. The Faith Apostolic Church stands today as a testament to their unwavering faith and commitment, a beacon of hope that has grown from those humble gatherings beneath a coconut tree.
