Apostolic Faith Church
Apostolic Faith Church is the first apostolic church in the state of Michigan. After hearing the gospel message at the Persian Pentecostal Mission in Chicago pastored by Bro. Andrew Urshan; Bro. Baba M. David was water baptized in the name of Jesus, and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in other tongues. It was B.M. David who brought the apostolic message to Grand Rapids, establishing the Apostolic Faith Church in 1911. He preached and taught this soul-cleansing message to all. In 1914 Elder G. T. Haywood held revival services at this newly formed church. His subject was Jesus Name Baptism and the Oneness of God. As he taught from his charts, the presence and power of God fell, and Elder Haywood confirmed the Acts 2:38 message to this newly formed congregation.
Since the Day of Pentecost, the apostolic message has been a life-changing beacon of truth to a lost and dying world. And in it's first hundred years, the Apostolic Faith Church has touched thousands of lives; both here in Grand Rapids and around the world. Our heritage is strong, going back to the Day of Pentecost. The Holy Ghost being poured out today is just as powerful as it was back then.
We invite you to come and experience this Soul-Cleansing, One-God, Apostolic message.
