The Apostolic Assembly of the Faith in Christ Jesus (AAFCJ) is a
Oneness Pentecostal denomination in the United States. It was founded in 1925 and incorporated in California on March 15, 1930, and is currently headquartered in Fontana, California.[2]
History
The AAFCJ emerged out of the Pentecostal movement that began with the Azusa Street Revival in the city of Los Angeles in 1906. Juan Navarro, a participant of that revival, baptized Francisco Llorente in 1912, who later was elected the first Bishop President of the Apostolic Assembly when it formed in 1925. The organization became a California corporation on March 15, 1930.[3]
