Church of God in Christ (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia

Wikipedia's article on the Church of God in Christ, community edited. Reliable for the standard account: Charles Harrison Mason and Charles Price Jones's Baptist background and 1897 founding, the 1907 Azusa Street era split into Pentecostal and Holiness factions, episcopal polity, the Assemblies of God's 1914 departure from Mason's jurisdiction, and current membership and headquarters figures.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on the Church of God in Christ is a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry, hence the lower tier, though reliable for the standard account of its founding, 1907 split and current membership figures.
Notes
Used for the Church of God in Christ's founding dispute with the Baptist tradition, the 1907 Pentecostal split, doctrine, polity and current statistics; not used for any claim needing a peer reviewed source.
