We are an organized body of believers that began it’s existence On the 15th day of June, 1954 when thirty six people who believed that they had the courage to stand up for God, met at 1319 Winter street, the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Jacobs in an attempt to organize a station of worship. God always smiles when men seek to make him known through the establishment of a place to worship. In the community a church stands as a light to constrain men to come to Christ in order that their souls be saved. Of course this one meeting could not possibly accomplish what was needed so therefore another meeting was held at 1415 East 32nd, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Willie Johnson, during this meeting It was suggested at this meeting by Mrs. O.M. Jacobs that the Brock Elementary School be secured for services. The same was ordered and secured and the organized body held services there for a period of six months.

Being inspired to go forth, the body was officially organized August 8, 1954, Rev. Hope Robinson, Rev. Gay and Rev. Gantt gave much needed assistance.
