Church History
New Generation Pentecostal Church was founded in the 1940s during World War II. The building was an renovated corner grocery store turned into a church. Every solider the church prayed for returned home from WWII. Later on in our church’s history, the power of God would come so mightly that crutches were hung on the walls because the people who used them were healed.
The Church was part of the Pentecostal Church of Christ (no relation to the Church of Christ) and went simply by that name. When the PCC merged with another Pentecostal fellowship, the International Pentecostal Assemblies, in 1976, they became the International Pentecostal Church of Christ, going by the name of our Conference. Those affiliated with the church simply referred to us as the church on "Hanover and Barney," because of our location.
We are a Pentecostal Church that believes in the full Gospel Message of soul salvation, bodily healing, and power for living. We are working in Baltimore City to see our friends, neighbors, and community turn whole-heartedly the One True Living God.
IPCC History
A Brief Historic discription on the IPCC
"In 1907, Gaston B. Cashwell, called the Apostle of Pentecost in the South, founded a periodical called The Bridegroom's Messenger, in Atlanta, Georgia. About the same time, Paul and Hattie Barth started a church. The Barths became editors of The Bridegroom's Messenger. In 1918, they began Beulah Heights Bible School in Atlanta, and in 1921 they organized an association that became the International Pentecostal Assemblies.
John Stroup, a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, professed receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost in 1908. Stroup was one of the first individuals to take the Pentecostal message into southern Ohio and parts of Kentucky. He organized the Pentecostal Church of Christ in Flatwoods, Kentucky in 1917. The body originally headquartered in Ashland, Kentucky, and later in London, Ohio.
In 1976, the International Pentecostal Assemblies and the Pentecostal Church of Christ merged to become the International Pentecostal Church of Christ.
Headquarters are located in London, Ohio. In 1999, there were approximately 1800 churches (about 70-75 in the U. S.). The church operates two youth camps, and six departments - Education, Global Missions, Home Missions and Evangelism, Christian Education, National Youth, and Women's Ministries. Publications of the church are The Bridegroom's Messenger (considered the oldest Pentecostal periodical in the world) and The Pentecostal Leader, a training magazine."
