OUR
COVERING
Proverbs
11:14 states, "Where no counsel is, the people
fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety."
No church is an island! A church outside of Godly covering
to which they are accountable run the risk of being
a place that teems with self-righteousness and a blatant
disregard for order, structure and leadership. The Upper
Room Christian Cathedral is a non-denominational Christian
church. We give ourselves to the name and designation
of Jesus the Christ. We are a Christian church set out
to follow the Biblical example of those Christian churches
of the New Testament. Go to Galatia, Ephesus, Crete
or Corinth and you found the same structure and order:
Local administration - the Pastor; Regional / Jurisdictional
administration - the Apostle (Paul); Global / Corporate
administration - the body that sent the Apostle (Paul)
forth. Here is a brief history and description of who
we are submitted and accountable to.
The Mt. Calvary Holy Churches of America, Inc. began in 1929
as the vision of a God inspired man, Bishop Brumfield Johnson.
At that time, Bishop Johnson was associated with the United
Holy Church of America and served as the Pastor of a church
in Summit, New Jersey, where Mt. Calvary was given birth. Obeying
the leading of the Lord, Bishop Johnson and a group of workers
went to a conference in Boston, Massaschusetts and adopted
the principles now adhered to by the Mt. Calvary Holy Churches
of America. The number joining the new organization numbered
about 200 with many others from various states uniting with
them over the years that followed.
Mt. Calvary Holy Church has grown in membership, yet the church
has not forgotten its humble origin, purpose and destiny. It
is committed to the principles of Christ, to the preaching
and the teaching of the unadulterated gospel of deliverance,
to becoming more and more concerned with world problems and
the problems found at its doors. Mt. Calvary is represented
throughout the United States and is internationally represented
in Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad, West Indies and London, England.
The Senior Bishop of this great organization is Bishop Harold
I. Williams. Bishop Alfred A. Owens is the organization's Vice-Bishop
and is the direct covering of Pastor Radford and the Upper
Room Christian Cathedral.
