Elder, I don't know if they are a Lawson split off or not. Seems like there have been a lot of split offs over the years and they like that "Church of Jesus Christ" name. Actually, I personally like that name too but don't think it has to be on the outside of the building. The churches listed on their web site have various names.
Their web site is:

I'm not sure when they were organized but Bishop Howard from New Castle, IN was part of their board of Bishops. I think he was pretty well known around Indiana. I think he was part of the AMA (or whatever Bro. Ooton's organization was called). Elder Flemming was part of this organization when he was planting the church in Indiana.
They seem pretty conservative. In the manual they include an addendum from June 24, 1999 which specifically addresses:
"...the man should have short hair, and the woman long hair. ...See through clothing, cap sleeves, low neck line, shirts or dresses with two or three top buttons undone, skirts or dresses that aren't below the knees, shorts, ... clothing should not be tight... slits in skirts and dresses should not come above the knees, ...we don't believe in wearing of jewelry, earrings, necklaces, etc."
As many folks as you know who have been associated with Pentecost over the years you'd probably recognize some of the names on their web site.
