Apostolic Overcoming Holy Church of God

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Apostolic Overcoming Holy Church of God is a black Pentecostal church founded in 1919 as the Ethiopian Overcoming Holy Church of God by Bishop W.T. Phillips in Mobile, Alabama. The name was changed in 1927. The founder left the Methodist Episcopal Church, which he served as a minister, after becoming concerned about the doctrine of holiness and the process of sanctification. The current presider of the church is Bishop G.W. Ayers. The A.O.H. church has very well expanded since the beginning. The A.O.H. church now has churches all over the world. The A.O.H. church also has a foreign ministry. Worship services are spontaneous and emotional and include foot washing, divine healing, ecstatic dancing, and speaking in tongues. Headquarters of the church are in Mobile.
