Orientation Evangelical | Origin 1935 | |
God’s Missionary Church is a Protestant denomination within the tradition of Wesleyan Methodism. It is part of the conservative holiness movement. It was organized in 1935 as a result of gospel tent meetings held throughout central Pennsylvania by evangelists Rev. William Straub and Rev. Daniel Dubendorf. Today, there are nearly 50 churches (most of them in Pennsylvania), as well as missions stations in other countries. The president of the denomination is Rev. Jacob Martin. God's Missionary Church also operates a training school called Penn View Bible Institute which is currently pursuing accreditation with ABHE. Both the denomination headquarters and the school are based in Penns Creek, Pennsylvania. On July 25, 2010, the God's Missionary Church celebrated its 75th anniversary.
