About
First Apostolic Church was founded in 1940 by DJ Gulley, George Boaz, Thomas Robertson, and Bro. Baggett, and originally operated as “Jesus Only Tabernacle” at Third Ave South and Cameron Street. In 1961 the congregation relocated to West Trinity Lane as “First Pentecostal Church of Bordeaux.” In December 1969 it moved to its current location at Broadmoor and Maplewood Lane and was renamed First Apostolic Church.
The church is led by Senior Pastor Dee Jay Shoulders, who has served since 2003 and also serves as a Chaplain with the Metro Nashville Police Department and as Chairman of the Associated Brotherhood of Christians.
The congregation’s stated beliefs include the Bible as the inspired Word of God; one God revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; water baptism by immersion; the baptism of the Holy Spirit with speaking in tongues; and the manifestation of spiritual gifts.
