Our History
A small group of people began services on the second Sunday in May, 1955. They purchased an old Jewish Synagogue that same year. This building became the first sanctuary, and due to the location was named, “Central Assembly of God.”
Rev. Donald Bogue became the first pastor, pastoring from 1955-1957.
In 1957, Rev. Charles Kingsfield was elected pastor and remained until 1959. The church became affiliated with the Assemblies of God in 1958 with 48 members.
