Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith (Philadelphia) (1933 - Present) - Religious Group

Religious Family: Pentecostal
Religious Tradition: Unclassified
Description: The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith is a nontrinitarian Pentecostal church founded in 1933 by Bishop Sherrod C. Johnson. Bishop Johnson was formerly with the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith but left due to his conviction that women should dress more modestly and not adorn themselves with fashionable accessories. Going as far as to oppose celebrating Lent, Easter, and Christmas, Sherrod Johnson established a lastingly conservative church with an episcopal structure that relies heavily upon lay participation.
