The Apostolic Church of Australia was established in 1930. It is a form of Pentecostalism that has its roots in the Welsh Revival church of the early 1900s. It originated in Perth, and by 1935 congregations had been established in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania. Features of Apostolic Church services include energetic singing, speaking in tongues, healings, prophecies, and performance of miracles. Tithing of financial donations to a central church fund is compulsory for members. The Apostolic Church local districts and areas are governed by preachers known as apostles, who report to the national church headquarters in Melbourne. At some point in the 21st Century the name of the Apostolic Church was changed to Acts Global Church.
The Apostolic Church of Australian ran the Aborigines Rescue Mission at Jigalong, Western Australia, from 1946 to 1969.
