Christ's Sanctified Holy Church is a Methodist denomination aligned with the holiness movement. It is based in the Southeastern United States. The group was organized on February 14, 1892, by members of the Methodist Episcopal Church on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, under the leadership of Joseph B. Lynch. Christ's Sanctified Holy Church teaches that the fullness of salvation is obtained through two works of grace: (1) the New Birth and (2) experiencing the "second blessing," i.e. entire sanctification.[1] Christ's Sanctified Holy Church grew significantly during the first part of the 20th century as members traveled across the country preaching the doctrine of holiness (sanctification). At its early stages the movement was known as the Sanctified Band, Sanctification Band, or Lynchites.
