The Pentecostal Missionary Church of Christ (4th Watch), often shortened as the PMCC (4th Watch), is a Christian church based in the Philippines, an alleged continuation of the early church that is founded by the Lord. Its members are often called 4th Watchers. They received their election through the ministry of Arsenio Tan Ferriol, proclaimed Christ's apostle in the End-Time.
Today, the church has established its presence not just in the Philippines but in more than over 60 countries and territories worldwide.
The PMCC (4th Watch) is also active in mass media. It has a bilingual magazine called The Word, which is released every two months. It also has a Surer Word magazine, made available in the United States by Bishop Jonathan Ferriol. PMCC also has a television and radio program called Oras ng Katotohanan (literally, Hour of Truth). Another TV program, also called Surer Word, is being produced in the United States and is currently being aired on local US channels and via satellite.
The PMCC also has its own radio stations, Life Radio. DZAT 1512 kHz in Lucena City, Quezon, and DWET 1179 kHz Santiago City.
The PMCC (4th Watch) is also operating a chain of schools in the Philippines called the Maranatha Christian Academy (MCA, Maranatha being taken out of context.The short phrase, “anathema maranatha” is found once in Scripture at 1 Corinthians 16:22. It is a firm warning, almost a curse, upon anyone that did not love Jesus). Most established local churches has an MCA campus. The school campus in Barangay Malagasang, Imus, is the largest of its campuses. Currently, only the Marikina campus, called the National Christian Life College, offers collegiate courses in education and information technology.
The PMCC (4th Watch) church proclaims that it, if not one of the true churches, is the true church in the end-time.
They believe in one God, The Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live... in one Lord Jesus Christ through whom all things came and through whom we live and in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth who guides, teaches and reminds believers into all truth.
They believe that the true church of Christ was founded on the day of the Pentecost and there is the continuing operation of the complete gifts of the Holy Spirit in the church today, including the office of Apostleship and other gifts of the Spirit as mentioned in the Scriptures for the perfection of the saints (Eph 4:11-12).
