Our Founder
Florence Crawford
Our founder, Florence Crawford, received the infilling of the Holy Spirit at Azusa and in 1908 moved to Portland, Oregon, and established this ministry. Since then, the work has grown to include hundreds of churches on six continents.
Our organization is conservative in nature, following a tradition of Wesleyan holiness practiced by those whom the Holy Spirit descended on at Azusa. We believe the entire Bible is God's infallible Word and uphold the fundamental teachings of New Testament faith. Learn more about us in The Apostolic Faith: History, Doctrine, and Purpose.

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."

Operations are led by President and Superintendent General Sola Adesope, with approval by a five-member Board of Trustees and the backing of a Board of Elders. All of our churches uphold the same Bible doctrines, with each branch being under the leadership of the Portland headquarters and independent of any other religious organization.
