IN THE BEGINNING
Late in 1957 about 50 people from the Sierra Vista area joined together to form a Protestant Church (a joint effort of folks from 4-5 Protestant denominations) to give witness to their faith. On December, 22,1957, they held their first worship gathering, using the Masonic Temple. Rev. Clell Hickman was called as the first pastor. By December of 1959, the church had 81 members, and they saw the need for their own building. Fundraising was begun, and land on the far east side was secured. Groundbreaking took place on January 21, 1962. The new building was dedicated a year later on January 27, 1963. (That building now serves as the Fellowship Hall.)
The church continued to grow, in both spirit and number. Music became an even more important part of the church life. By 1974 the church counted 225 active members.
After a series of pastors in the prior years, the Lord brought Ross and Shirley McGuire. He served the church faithfully for some 30 years, during which time the new sanctuary was built in 1980.
