The United House of Prayer for All People of the Church on the Rock of the Apostolic Faith is an evangelistic Christian denomination founded by Marcelino Manuel da Graca, also known as Charles Manuel Grace. Da Graça was born in Brava in the Cape Verde Islands. In 1919, Grace, with his own hands, built the first United House of Prayer For All People in West Wareham, Massachusetts, and incorporated the United House of Prayer for All People in Washington, D.C. in 1927.
