First Pentecostal Church of Fort Wayne was founded in 1946 by Bishop Claude Lawson.

 

Bishop Lawson would pastor the church until 1986.  For 40 years, He would lead the church into growth spiritually and physically!  In 1986, Pastor Larry White would unanimously be affirmed as the second pastor of First Pentecostal Church.  Pastor White would lead this great congregation until his going home in 2014.  In May of 2014, Rev. Jeremy S. Baines would be unanimously affirmed as the third pastor of First Pentecostal Church.  He looks forward to honoring the rich heritage of this church while walking with them into the future!

​

In June 2019, First Pentecostal Church transitioned into a new and fresh season by adopting the official name of The Pentecostals of Fort Wayne for our local assembly.
