Our Affiliation

In view of the mutual benefits of partnering, and because of our agreement in belief, values and mission, it was agreed that Springs of Life Family Church become affiliated with the Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada, Incorporated, on September 29, 2009.

ACOP History

The Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada traces its history back to a revival that began in the early 20th Century at the Azusa Street Mission in Los Angeles. This revival has come to be known as the “Latter Rain” revival.

In the early 1950’s, joint Conferences were held between the Evangelical Churches of Pentecost and the Apostolic Church of Pentecost to explore the possibility of joining together. In 1953 a merger took place under the charter of the Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada and it was agreed that Eston College would become the official training center of the amalgamated organization.

Today ACOP is the second largest Pentecostal Denomination in Canada. There are currently 145 Canadian churches affiliated or associated with ACOP, and there are 450 credentialed ministers representing nearly every province in Canada. ACOP is also involved in missionary endeavors in 26 other countries.

The ACOP International Office is located in Calgary, Alberta. It also serves as the National Office of the Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada and the Apostolic Church of Pentecost of the United States of America.

The International Office is the hub of communication and information for our Fellowship. It is responsible for the credentialing of ministers, the collection, and distribution of missionary funds and the coordination of regional and national conferences.
