Christ Apostolic Church, Pomona was founded in 1990 by the late Pastor (Dr.) Hezekiah O. Adeyemi, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. At the time the church was founded, Pastor Adeyemi worked for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and lived in Pasadena. The birth of the church came after a 3-day revival service conducted by Pastor Samuel Kayode Abiara of CAC Agbala Itura in Ibadan, Nigeria on the campus of Fuller Seminary in Pasadena. Afterward, the church conducted its maiden service at the Fellowship Hall on the campus of Fuller Seminary and held its weekly services at this facility for several months.
