Messenger <strong>of</strong> Truth<br />

Church <strong>of</strong> God (Clevel<strong>and</strong>,<br />

Tennessee)<br />

It is one <strong>of</strong> America’s oldest Pentecostal<br />

churches founded in 1886 as an outgrowth <strong>of</strong> the<br />

holiness revival under the name Christian Union.<br />

In 1907 the church adopted the organizational<br />

name Church <strong>of</strong> God. It has its foundation upon<br />

the principles <strong>of</strong> Christ as revealed in the Bible.<br />

The Church <strong>of</strong> God is Christian, Protestant, foundational<br />

in its doctrine, evangelical in practice <strong>and</strong><br />

distinctively Pentecostal. It maintains a centralized<br />

form <strong>of</strong> government <strong>and</strong> a commitment to<br />

world evangelization. The first church <strong>of</strong> Canada<br />

was established in 1919 in Scotl<strong>and</strong> Farm,<br />

Manitoba. Paul H. Walker became the first overseer<br />

<strong>of</strong> Canada in 1931.<br />
