About us

The Body of Christ Assembly was established in 1964 and founded by Apostle Hugh Carmichael as Faith Tabernacle Apostolic Church of God Inc. Currently with two locations, one in New Haven, CT and the second in Philadelphia, PA., we are a nondenominational church that believes in the Pentecostal Experience, in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in Tongues, as the Spirit of God gives utterance.

​

Our focus is on the advancement of the Kingdom of God here on Earth. We do so by preaching and teaching Salvation through the Gospel of Jesus Christ that the captive may be set free from the enemy of our soul who is Satan. The Body of Christ Assembly believes that there is one God, the Father of Heaven and Earth that sent his Son to shed his blood to die for out sins and iniquities whereby we are reconciled back to the Father.

​

The Body of Christ strives to maintain the worship of God, and to inspire in all persons a love for Christ, a passion for righteousness, and a consciousness of their duties to God and their fellow human beings. We pledge our lives to Christ in covenant with each other to demonstrate his spirit through worship, witnessing and ministry to the needs of the people of this church and the community. These ministries include:

​

• Prison Outreach

• Convalescent & Hospital Ministry

• Second Chance Ministry

• Family & Community Services

• Foreign & Domestic Missions Support

• Food Bank

• Heart Association

• Diabetes Association

• Prayer Line & Monthly Week of Prayer

​

       The Body of Christ is a safe gathering place for people to come experience the grace and forgiveness of God; a family of believers where they can find healing for the things that have hurt and wounded their souls; where they can be nurtured and disciple into faith in the one True God and in Jesus Christ who he has sent.
