The Congregational Holiness Church is a Pentecostal Church that was formed in 1921. ==History== The ''Congregational Holiness Church'' shares the early history of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church, from which it withdrew. In 1920 a schism came into the ''Pentecostal Holiness Church'' over the relation of divine healing and the use of medicine. Some pastors believed Christians had the right to use medicine and doctors, while the majority of the church believed in trusting God for healing without the use of medicine and doctors. The minority withdrew and formed the ''Congregational Holiness Church''. Led by Reverends Watson Sorrow and Hugh Bowling, a delegation from 12 churches met on January 29, 1921 at the church in High Shoals, Georgia to organize. The church was chartered in 1925 as the ''Southeastern Association of the Congregational Holiness Church'' and changed in 1965 to the ''Congregational Holiness Church, Inc.''. The early leaders of the CHC attempted to democratize church government, preferring congregational rule over the Pentecostal Holiness Church's episcopal polity. In its beginning, the church had no officially elected leaders, and a General Conference was held every two years. In 1935, the structure of the denomination was changed. The church was divided into three districts, and in 1938 the office of General Superintendent was added. Foreign mission work began in the early 1950s.
