Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) is the first Aladura Pentecostal church present in Nigeria and other countries. It arose in the first half of the 20th century, in the then-British empire. It was formally established in 1941 after a split from the Apostolic Church which the original Aladura organization (Faith Tabernacle) had invited to Nigeria. Its growth was led by Joseph Ayo Babalola, a road construction driver who became its founder.[1]

The revival led by Babalola resulted in thousands burning their traditional fetishes. This disturbed the colonial authorities, and allegations included witch-hunting and opposition to hospitals and medicine. Babalola was arrested and jailed.

It operates secondary schools in Nigeria.[2] The countries with presence of the Christ Apostolic Church include the

United States of America, Armenian Apostolic Church, the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium,Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland, Austria, Australia, South Africa, the

Ivory Coast, Togo and Chad.[3][4][5] Its headquarters are in Lagos, Nigeria.[6] The Christ Apostolic Church shows pentecostal features.[7] The number of its members exceeds a million.[8] In the 20th century, it had distance to other Aladura churches.[8] At least in 1999, a dissident faction of the name Christ Apostolic Church existed.[9] Christ Apostolic Church has a major presence among the Yoruba poplulation.[10] It does not have infant baptism.[11] It is in favour of monogamy.[12] Within the Christ Apostolic Church, healing is attempted.[13]
