AI Summary

The Way Back to Pentecost Church, long regarded as the first Apostolic congregation and the "mother church" for Jesus Only churches in Washington, D.C., traces its roots to a 1930 vision and was officially certified in 1947, celebrating more than 90 years of ministry. Led by Bishop Alphonso Lewis Bratcher (consecrated July 27, 2019), the congregation comprises about 150 members with typical attendance just below that.
