| Our Church History |
After staying there for about six months an old church building came open at
Edgarton, WV and we moved our church into that building, rent free and its own PA
system, the Lord had begun to bless us in our labors. What a blessing it was to get
this old building, and what GREAT services we had there. We worshipped in this
building from November of 1990 until September 14, 1998 ( Almost 8 Years ) when
the Lord blessed us to build The New Pentecostal Tabernacle.

A brief history of The Pentecostal Tabernacle. In May of 1990, after leaving the
Faith Mission Church at McCarr, KY where I pastored for about two years. I went to
Matewan, WV and established The Pentecostal Tabernacle, with twelve members,
encluding my wife and I, a borrowed PA system, and renting a store front building.
This was a great blessing and we thank God for our start.

After those wonderful years of worship, we moved into our new sanctuary on the
14th of September, 1998 and what a blessing that was. We were blessed to build a 36
by 82 building, two stories which included a full size basement for sunday school
rooms, a dinning area, and a kitchen. We had come alone way from a rented
building to a brand new church without a mortgage, just to show what a mighty God,
Jesus is.

In 2001 the Lord laid it on our heart to establish a Christian School, by the time
the school year had came around, we had established the Delorme Christian School
in accordance with the state of WV. In 2002 we expanded our building by another 30
feet two stories for our school and to God be the glory. This is our sixth year (
2006-2007 ) and we are so thankful to the Lord for allowing us to establish this
work.
In 2004 we expanded our building again, by another 18 feet to put our steps
under-roof and to build a new entrance to our church. That work was completed in
December of 2004 just in time for our Christmas Play and Dinner. Our building is
now 36' by 130' two stories. In November of 2006 we were blessed to have our
church bricked with a new metal roof to match the brick with an overhang. The
Lord blessed us to build this new church without mortgage and we are debt free to
date. I don't say this in boasting , but to encourge others who might have a vision to
do a work for the Lord, that, " With God All Things Are Possible To Them That
Believe"
