We are the Apostolic Faith Church in the nation's capital of Washington, DC. The Apostolic Faith Church is a worldwide religious organization, with international headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Our roots stem from the 1906 revival on Azusa Street in Los Angeles.
We have found a deeply satisfying life in Jesus Christ and we want to share it with all we come in contact with. The Apostolic Faith Church is a worldwide religious organization, with international headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Our roots stem from the 1906 revival on Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California. On Christmas Day of that year, the founder of the International Missions of the Apostolic Faith, Florence L. Crawford, came to Portland and we mark that as the official beginning of our work. The beginning of our work in Washington DC was founded by late Mary G. Kelley. Read our full history here.
