Our Church History
Early in the year of 1941, Rev. D. C. Calvert became inspired to build a church in the Mount Pleasant area. While looking for a desirable location, he noticed there wasn’t a church anywhere on Kinsman Rd. One day while riding down Kinsman, he saw a building with a sign that read “For Sale or Lease”.
It was the old Orion Theater Building at 13013 Kinsman. Previously, he had informed a long-time friend, Louis Woodard, about his inspiration. Mr. Woodard promised if he would get a church started, that he would join and work along with him. Rev Calvert leased the Old Orion Building for three (3) years with an option to buy.
