The Apostolic Faith Mission Church of God is a
Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in 1906 by F. W. Williams. In 2005, there were 10,730 members in 18 congregations.[1]
Williams was a
nontrinitarian view and formally separate from Seymour's church, and renamed his new church.[2]
The church places an emphasis on
communion rite. It considers any baptism performed without the words "the Lord Jesus Christ" to be void. Alcohol, drugs, and tobacco are forbidden to its members. Members are also advised to only marry other persons who have been "saved".[2]
