The Apostolic Overcoming Holy Church of God is a Pentecostal denomination founded in 1916 in Mobile, Alabama as the Ethiopian Overcoming Church of God in Mobile, Alabama by Bishop W.T. Phillips. In 1941, the name was changed to become more inclusive. While primarily black, the denomination has members of other races. The membership numbers about 50,000 people in the United States and Africa.
This week the AOH church purchased the property of the former Cathedral of the Cross in Center Point, Alabama and plans to locate its international headquarters there. The main sanctuary of the site can host meeting groups of up to 6000 persons and will be adequate for the annual Pentecostal celebration held by the denomination.
