Pentecostalism emerged in the early 20th century with Charles Parham, an American evangelist and faith healer, began baptism and along with William J. Seymour, a Wesleyan-Holiness preacher, who taught that this was the third work of grace. The three-year-long Azusa Street Revival, founded and led by Seymour in Los Angeles, California resulted in the spread of Pentecostalism throughout the United States and the rest of the world as visitors carried the Pentecostal experience back to their home churches or felt called to the mission field. While virtually all Pentecostal denominations trace their origins to Azusa Street, the movement has experienced a variety of divisions and controversies.

We are an independent church, there is no central authority governing our Pentecostalism but,  we are affiliated with the Eric Michel Ministries International Assembly of Churches.

Since the 60s, Pentecostalism has increasingly gained acceptance from other Christian traditions, and Pentecostal beliefs concerning Spirit baptism and spiritual gifts have been embraced by non-Pentecostal Christians in Protestant and Catholic churches through the Charismatic Movement
