Apostolic Assemblies of Christ

The Apostolic Assemblies of Christ, Inc. is a predominantly African-American "Oneness Pentecostal" denomination. The Apostolic Assemblies of Christ was organized in 1970 by George Marshall Boone (b. 1920). Previously he had served as a bishop in the Pentecostal Church of the Apostolic Faith. From a beginning with seven churches in Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the Apostolic Assemblies of Christ has grown to about 120 churches in the United States and Haiti.
The church is anti-trinitarian in theology, teaches repentance and water baptism by immersion are necessary to enter into the kingdom of God, and believes that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
