The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith (or CLJC) is a Pentecostal church organization, with its headquarters located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Founded in 1919 by the late Bishop Sherrod C. Johnson, the church grew into a network of church locations steming from New England to Florida and as far west as California. After Johnson's death in early 1961, the movement continued to grow under the ministry of the late Bishop S. McDowell Shelton, gaining international recognition while continuing to maintain a solid base in the United States.
The current leader is Bishop Kenneth "Omega" Shelton.
