On its title page, this pamphlet is headed "United Covenant Churches of Christ International (Formerly United Pentecostal Churches of Christ)". The pamphlet contains an historical account of the organization from 1992. It states that Bishop Ellis's resignation in June 1992 was necessary for health reasons. It also summarizes the organization's aims in terms of continuity with its past as United Pentecostal Churches of Christ and future development. The pamphlet explains the change of one word in the organization's name, from "Pentecostal" to "Covenant". The pamphlet can be downloaded at "Archived copy" (PDF).
