Who we are
Many congregations. One body under Christ.
The OMS Holiness Church of North America is a conference of churches with English and Japanese-language ministries, gathered by a shared faith and a shared history.
Together we pray, train pastors, send short-term missionaries, and support one another—so each local church can faithfully share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Our history
From a small band in 1920 to churches across the Pacific.
The Conference began when a small group of young people founded the Los Angeles Holiness Church in 1920. A century of worship, wartime loss, and renewal followed. The papers, Bibles, and photographs of those first years are kept in the Kuzuhara Library.
