The Pentecostal Holiness Church is a Protestant denomination organized in Falcon, North Carolina in 1911 by the merger of the Fire-Baptized Holiness Church (organized in 1898 by several Pentecostal associations) and the Pentecostal Holiness Church (organized in 1900). A third group, the Tabernacle Pentecostal Church, joined the consolidation in 1915.

Reflecting the Methodist heritage of its Holiness constituents, the denomination is divided into conferences: general, annual, district, and missionary.

The General Board of Education oversees the operations of three church-related institutions of higher learning: Emmanuel College, a fully accredited college in Franklin Springs, Georgia, close to the denominational headquarters; Holmes Theological Seminary in Greenville, South Carolina; and Southwestern Pentecostal Holiness College in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which Oral Roberts, a faith healer and evangelist, helped to establish.
