The year Mary-Louise was born, the APCA merged with the Church of the Nazarene, which had been founded in California in October 1895 by Phineas Bresee and Joseph Widney, to form the Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene (simplified to Church of the Nazarene in 1919), automatically making the Fitkins a founding family of the new denomination.

It later became known as Apostolic Christian in America. This name was chosen because the church follows the teachings of Christ and the Apostles.
