The United Holy Church of America (UHCA) is the oldest African-American Holiness-Pentecostal body in the world.

[1] The UHCA consists of an estimated 516 churches, 17 districts, and 8 territories.

[2] In 1977, the church divided when the Southern District Convocation, located in Goldsboro, North Carolina, withdrew from fellowship with the parent body.

However, in May 2000 in the city of Greensboro, North Carolina, the Southern District Convocation was reunited with the connectional body.

Mount Sinai Holy Church of America separated from the mother church in 1924 to form an organization to create gender equality in episcopal ordination.
