Our Story

Rooted in Apostolic Heritage

The Apostolic Church originated in Wales in 1915, born out of a global Pentecostal revival. Founded by Daniel Powell Williams and William Jones Williams, it emphasized the New Testament offices of Apostles and Prophets and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The Church spread to Ghana in 1935 under Pastor George Perfect. Despite early challenges, it flourished — moving its headquarters to Accra and establishing branches across Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, Europe and North America.

In 1985 the Ghanaian branch celebrated its Golden Jubilee and attained autonomy. Today the Amsterdam branch continues that same Apostolic fire — a people alive in Christ, on fire for God.
