We are not just another Denominational Church ! 'Having done everything to stand firm, stand firm therefore' (Ephesians 6:13-14) In the years prior to 1900 there was an approaching interdenominational move of God loosely organized throughout the known Christian world. This move of God provided an ongoing platform for preachers to respond to the unbiblical teaching that was spreading among denominational leaders, seminary professors, and pastors. Then around the 1900s, a powerful doctrinal response came to this movement called the The Fundamentals. First, one great truth came out in this movement, it was that true biblical theology was presented and defended. Secondly, last day apostasy was again exposed. Thirdly, the Bible-believing, New Testament believers were galvanized into a more cohesive force -- a force that was evident in the Acts of the Apostles. And fourthly, the advent of the Holy Spirit as it was on the Day of Pentecost came. A new name was given to those who were involved in the movement as "Bible-believers", "Fundamentalists" and simply "Saints" of this modern age. By the 1920's many ministers and congregations began to withdraw from their parent denominations in wake of what was called in some circles as the Apostolic Faith Movement. Departure from their historic doctrines by the leadership and involvement in movements contrary to faith gave the churches reason to "come out from among them and be separate," (2 Corinthians 6:17). They did this at great cost, losing many benefits of association and often valuable properties such as church buildings, parsonages, and pensions. But there was a great move of the Holy Spirit set for the defense of the new awakening of this Pentecostal Fire Gospel and those committed to an uncompromising stand for the truth of God's word. New churches were birthed and formed with the Apostle's principles. If The Foundations Be Destroyed, What Can The Righteous Do? The time has come for an uncompromising Gospel, rooted in the Christ-centered message of the Cross that the early church practiced, studied and preached. The inception of the Payne Bible College was founded in 1970 with a missionary zeal and vision to equip it students with an International burden. This was reflected in the world-wide missionary vision and the increasing emphasis placed upon Bishop Payne to reach the lost at any cost. The first class to complete studies was numbered at over 50 students that were prepared to serve in local and foreign lands. The historical significance of the school is that the school stands for a movement firmly fixed upon the principle: "the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the chief corner stone" (Ephesians 2:20). The nature of the Payne Bible College is a fellowship for study, not a "church" as in a denomination, but focusing on teaching the basic body of biblical truth that establishes and builds individual bodies of believers in the church controlled by the Head of the church, Christ Jesus through Personal Relationship with Him and the Holy Spirit. The Articles of Faith and Doctrine of the Church Fellowship and School are essentially the same. We have established cardinal beliefs of the historic biblical Christian faith as taught in the beginning of the new testament church era by Jesus Christ and the epistles later written by the Apostles and we take serious accounts of the history of God dealing man in the ages of both Old and New Testament times. We teach scriptural principles necessary to bring us into oneness of the Lord's work world-wide with others that there may be One Fold.

Theme: Brethrens Building Together in Trouble Times! A New Generation to Save! Often the generation that inherits the fallen truth, undone deeds and errors of the preceding one, falls victim to the sins of its Fathers. The bibles speak of the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children. "A Restored Faith in Trouble Times" Dr. J. L. Payne was led of God over 45 years ago to establish New Testament Church Ministry within the Church and he conceived the vision of God's restored church into the Apostle's Order. The message of placing this before the body of the church became a consuming passion of his life and ministry. He has written over (10) books describing and producing documentation of the early church's era. These accounts of the church is based upon the end time revelation of the church restored before the Rapture and the Tribulation.
