First Assembly of God Holds Ribbon Cutting

The First Assembly of God held a ribbon cutting ceremony on the morning of Dec. 4th. The church joined the Greenwood Chamber of Commerce and is experiencing a renewal. The First Assembly of God Church began in 1913 as a cottage prayer meeting and over the years has become what it is today.

The current building was built in 1988 under Pastor Rick Vinson and for the past 25 years the church has been led by lead Pastor Rev. John Miller. In April of 1995 construction began on the Activity Center. The current ministries of the church include the Food Bank, Greenwood Healing Center, Greenwood Bible College and ministries to our Children, Youth and Adults. Current Staff is Rev. Brandon Hogue, Youth Minister and Administer and Tanya Bivins Childrens Pastor.

Recent improvements to the outside of the church building are the results of a gift given to the church by a former church member. Lead Pastor Rev. John Miller is excited about all the improvements and wants to bring new life to the church. We have been fixing it up and making it attractive for people to come in and see whats inside.

Youth Minister Rev. Brandon Hogue is excited about the upcoming Christmas programs as well as what the church has to offer the community.

Tanya Bivins, childrens pastor was also excited about upcoming events, Our kids ministry does lots of outreach programs and events. Bivins wanted the community to know that they are available if you have any questions about their programs.
