the new headquarters was established (using the strength of bishop ray o. cornell's 2500 member apostolic faith church of god) in cleveland ohio (established in 1932). bishop ray cornell, bishop carl angle, and bishop charles b. gillespie became the catalyst to the recharter effort. during the 1950s and 1960s the group's headquarters was at 2050 west 55th street. the group grew through an aggressive recruitment effort spearheaded by national evangelist carl angle. it also grew by a number of mergers with other groups who were using the pajc name. most notable is the southeast pajc with bishop j. t. bass and the pajc of knoxville, iowa where the group's printing presses were housed and publications were printed.
