A PAOC officially incorporated within 1919 though their beginnings stretch when far back as 1906. Their historical roots come directly attached to the Azusa street revival in Los Angeles in 1906 which promptly spread around the world. A big pentecostal class action that emerged away from Azusa was a “Assemblies of God� in the United States of which a PAOC is, au fond, the American counterpart.
