In 1952, A.M. McAfee and other like-minded individuals were led to form a non-denominational fellowship for the worship of our Lord and Saviour. A. M. McAfee, W.E. Kelly, Charlie Kelly, Clarence Helton, and Joe Brackett met in the home of Howard Atkins to makek plans to form the Church they felt called to establish. It was determined that the property and the fiscal affairs of the Church would be controlled by a five member Board of Trustees. In order to have continuity of purpose, it was determined that the Trustees would appoint successors to fill any vacancies which might arise in the Board. The congregation would determine all other matters of Church organization, including the selection of the Pastor with the approval of the Trustee Board. The doctrine of the Church would be: 1) no book but the bible; 2) no law but love; and 3) no membership but fellowship. Based upon these principles, the Church was founded, the property donated, and the work of the Lord has flourished. A.M. McAfee, Luther Murphy, and Joe Brackett, individually or through their heirs, donated and dedicated the property on which the Church now stands. W. E. Kelly and Charlie Kelley purchased, donated, and dedicated the property on which Canal Lake Bible Camp is located. The initial Trustees selected were A.M. McAfee, W.E. Kelley, Charlie Kelley, Clarence Helton, and Joe Brackett. In 1953, Rev. D.D. Kinnersley was asked to serve as the first Pastor of the new Church. 

The Future . . .
is unforeseeable but predictable. As God’s people move and minister in a selfless service of love, He is glorified! Some one said, “the darker the night the brighter the Light.” We are looking for our Lord to return, but we dare not become lazy or inactive! Called to impact our world for Christ, we go forth as His Ambassadors into a needy world.
