In 1974 a two year trial consolidation commenced between the IPA and the PCC, which resulted in the complete consolidation of the two groups at a Joint General Conference held at London, Ohio, August 10, 1976. By an overwhelming majority vote from each separate group one body came forth out of two with the name International Pentecostal Church of Christ.

The same legislative body adopted a Constitution and By-Laws, and elected Rev. Chester I. Miller of the PCC as General Overseer; Rev. Tom G. Grinder of the IPA as Assistant General Overseer.

London, Ohio was chosen as the site for the international headquarters. The departments of Global Missions, Evangelism and Home Missions, Ladies Auxiliary (now Women’s Ministries), Sunday School, and the Pentecostal Ambassadors were created and continue to this day.

Since 1976, the IPCC has expanded its missions emphasis into Argentina, French Guiana, Germany, The Philippines, Spain, Suriname, and Uruguay; adopted a new concentration on youth ministry, initiated literature services; developed a variety of leadership development seminars and conventions; further developed its Conference Center; embarked on a church planting campaign; and has sought a deeper corporate relationship with God. In 2005, the organization launched “King’s Commission,” a resident, post-secondary discipleship program. The IPCC practices complete openness in its financial accountability practices.
