This is something I posted on AFF a couple of years ago
As far as I understand, Bishop Mark Lawson organized and chartered “The Church of Jesus Christ” in 1927. He was Presiding Bishop of that organization for quite some time. I was licensed by them in 1959 when I went to a conference in Charleston, WV.
Over the years there have been splits, fragmentation, etc. Many have left that original group and formed other organizations and quite often they use some form of “Church of Jesus Christ” in their name. I may be wrong about this, but I think one splinter group called themselves “The Assemblies of the Church of Jesus Christ” and they later merged with two other groups called “The Jesus Only Apostolic Church of God” and “The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ” in March 1952 and formed the ALJC (Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ).
There is a group called “The Church of Jesus Christ” with headquarters in Kingsport, TN. Their Presiding Bishop or General Overseer is Anthony Adinolfi.Their web site is:
