17th Street Apostolic Overcoming Holy Church of God was a Pentecostal church located in the former building of Knesseth Israel at 17th Street North and 7th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. It was active in the civil rights movement and was recognized by the Birmingham Historical Society as a "movement church".

The congregation later moved to 24th Street North and took the name AOH Cathedral in recognition of its role as the headquarters of the Apostolic Overcoming Holy Church of God denomination. Still later it moved to Center Point where it took the name New Jerusalem Apostolic Overcoming Holy Church of God and then later at a different Center Point site Cathedral of the Cross A.O.H. Church of God.
