Course Description

Following the twists and turns of church history can be a complicated task. As a minister in your community, it is essential for you to lead your congregation through some of the topics and questions that come up due to the history of the church. By knowing who has come before you and walking in their footsteps, you can see where you have been and where you are headed. The recommended third course in the PCAFI Advanced Leadership Certificate, Journeying with Our Ancestors: Church History, explores a narrative overview of church history that centers on the Black/African contributions of the church and its implications for modern churches. Let the Pannell Center guide you on this journey through church history!

Fuller & PCAFI

Fuller Seminary is an evangelical, multidenominational graduate institution committed to forming global leaders for kingdom vocations. Responding to changes in the church and world, Fuller is transforming the seminary experience for both traditional students and those beyond the classroom: providing theological formation that helps Christ-followers serve as faithful, courageous, innovative, collaborative, and fruitful leaders in all of life, in any setting.

The Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith International (PCAFI) was founded by Bishop Samuel N. Hancock in 1957 and officially incorporated on November 20, 1957. Established from its inception as a Oneness Pentecostal organization practicing baptism by full water immersion, the group sought to create an organization that stood for the highest standards of holiness. It is one of twelve major organizations born from the womb of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World between 1919 and 1960. Today, with churches across the globe, the PCAFI remains committed to its trademark of spiritual excellence and integrity on behalf of the Apostolic faith. Bishop Lambert W. Gates, Sr. is the current presiding bishop.
