The church was organized on
February 28, 1960 under the leadership of Rev. Forrest Blunt, Jr.
There were sixty charter members in the congregation. Services were
first held at the Lakeshore Elementary School. With the help of the
District, the 1000 Club, and a loan from the General Board of Missions,
property was purchased in August 1960.
Groundbreaking for the new church
was held on March 27, 1961. The church was completed in several months,
with the opening service held on July 9, 1961.
In 1980, the facilities were
expanded to include offices, a fellowship hall, and classrooms.
Beginning in February 2004,
a contemporary worship service (Expectations) was added to the worship
schedule. |
