In 1927 steps were taken toward reunifying these organizations. Meeting in a joint convention in [[Guthrie]], [[Oklahoma]], Emmanuel's Church in Jesus Christ and The Apostolic Churches of Jesus Christ merged, taking the name '''The Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ'''. This merger united about 400 Pentecostal ministers.  In 1931, a unity conference with representatives from four Pentecostal organizations met in [[Columbus, Ohio]], in an endeavor to bring all Pentecostals together. The Pentecostal Ministerial Alliance ministers voted to merge with The Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ, but the terms of the proposed merger were rejected by that body. Nevertheless, a union between The Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ and The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World was consummated in November 1931. The new body adopted the name of '''The Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ'''. <ref name=autogenerated2 />

1932 was a pivotal year for the Pentecostal movement in the United States.  Pentecostal historians generally agree that "in 1932, The Pentecostal Ministerial Alliance changed its name to The Pentecostal Church, Incorporated (PCI), reflecting its organizational structure.  In 1936, the PCI ministers voted to work toward an amalgamation with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Jesus Christ (PAJC)". <ref>[http://members.tripod.com/nbctupc/oldest.htm UPCi History<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.  Final union, however, proved elusive until 1945, when these two Pentecostal organizations combined to form the United Pentecostal Church. In 1955, citing dissatisfaction with the treatment of black ministers, some members of the PAJC reorganized under the direction of a key group of ministers which included Bishop Ray Oscar Cornell (Apostolic Faith Church of God, 2050 W. 55th Street, Cleveland, Ohio), Bishop Charles Bernard Gillespie (Fairmont, WV), and Bishop Carl Angle (Niles, OH). <ref name=autogenerated1> Pentecostal Outlook.
