Apostolic Church of Christ (Pentecostal)
Apostolic Church of Christ (Pentecostal) is a Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in North Carolina in 1969 by Johnnie Draft and Wallace Snow. Both these men had been members of the Church of God (Apostolic) prior to establishing this church. The only difference between the Apostolic Church of Christ (Pentecostal) and that from which it was founded is its organization. In this church, a parent board owns all the church's property.[1] This was a departure from the organization the Church of God (Apostolic) had, where an Overseer and an "International General Assembly" ran the church and its property.[2] The Apostolic Church of Christ (Pentecostal) left the Church of God (Apostolic) under Overseer Charles W. Conn.
