Faith Apostolic Temple - Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ

The Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ (Faith Apostolic Church) has been very influential among African-American Pentecostal churches, and has given rise to several spin-off bodies. COOLJC, located in Riviera Beach, Florida is among the hundreds of churches around the nation. Elder Uriah Campbell; Pastor.

The Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ is, historically and doctrinally, a Oneness Pentecostal organization like the United Pentecostal Church and the PAW. With roots in the earliest years of the American Pentecostalism, much of the culture of the church reflects the doctrine of the Holiness movement of the 1800s. Among the practices that separate it from other Pentecostal churches are its outspokenness on the significance of the name "Lord Jesus Christ" (especially as a baptismal formula); a very conservative (but, lately, increasingly flexible) dress code, which includes the wearing of hats or some other type of headcovering by women during church services; insistence on wine to be used during communion; strict interpretation of New Testament scriptures concerning divorce and remarriage; and the disallowance of women's ordination and pastorship. (These last two were Lawson's points of disagreement with the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World). the Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ is the mother of a family of predominantly African-American Pentecostal Apostolic organizations.
