George Hale was approached by thirteen people meeting in a second floor lodge hall to become their pastor. By faith he led them out of past debt and into a building program with God blessing them.

We held our first worship service at our new building at 8359 Burns Ave Hartwell Ohio.

God directed Pastor Hale to purchase land in Lebanon Ohio for a new building. With events that demonstrated God’s favor, we purchased 40 acres next to bypass 48.

We began renting a vacant church at 500 Mulberry St. in Lebanon Ohio to begin serving the community to which God had called us. We began raising funds for our new building. God gave us a word through Kent Christmas that we would build our next building debt free.

Our church was significantly touched by attending the Brownsville outpouring in Pensacola Florida.

After efforts to raise funds for our new build had become insufficient. The Lord once again spoke to Pastor Hale instructing him to give away the $20,000.00 we did have. He took this to the congregation and they joyously agreed. Because of this obedience, God led the church into a season of extravagant generosity. In one month, God had replenished all that had been given and much more.

The promise God made came to pass. One year after giving away all we had, we moved into our present building mortgage free.

Pastor George Hale resigns at the age of 63 to pursue his passion for missions. The church unanimously installed his son, Tim as senior pastor. He and his wife Angie are still serving and seeking all God has purposed for His church.
