The Apostolic Church as a denominational name was adopted in 1916 in the United Kingdom by the body of believers who had been led by God, subsequent to the Welsh Revival of 1904-05, into the truth of the principles and practices of the early Apostolic Church as contained in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament.

In 1904/05, Wales experienced an outbreak of Revival, which had tremendous effects on many parts of the British Isles. This was followed by a MIGHTY VISITATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, which fell simultaneously on many parts of the world, during which many received the baptism of the Holy Spirit with signs following.

As a result, there sprung up Pentecostal groups worldwide, which also believed that the gifts of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers of Ephesians 4:11, should operate in the Church together with the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit spelled out in 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. The Apostolic Church was therefore born in 1915 in Penygroes, South Wales, United Kingdom.

It was the vision of Apostolic doctrine that gripped the first leader of the Fellowship, Daniel Powell Williams, who in 1913, was ordained an Apostle in the Body of Christ and later became the first President of The Apostolic Church Council and remained so until his death in 1947. The Lord also called brother William Jones Williams as a Prophet in the Body of Christ, and in 1913 he was ordained into the full-time Ministry of the Church. Thus, they were called together with others to demonstrate the New Testament offices of Apostle and Prophet in the United Kingdom. Subsequently, these ministries were exercised in other countries and continents of the World.

The Apostolic Church America, in early January 2019, Apostle Enyinnaya O Agwu, received a ministration from the Lord concerning “His people, who were literally scattered like sheep without a shepherd.” By spending time in prayers and seeking God’s guidance and sense of direction, he shared the Lord’s vision with some Christian brethren, who lent their moral and spiritual support. The earliest days of Church fellowship took place in the Living room of the pastor, with him and the wife Deaconess Grace O Agwu that organized Bible studies, teachings, and prayer meetings from June 2nd through June 30th, 2019.
