And I say unto thee that thou art Peter, and upon this rock,

I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Matthew 16:18.

The Church of the Living God, The Pillar and Ground of the Truth, 1218 Gladious Street, Wichita Falls, Texas was organized in Wichita Falls, Texas on Bonner Street in 1930.

During that same year, Elders Anderson, Lewis Flye, and Marion Bray served as pastors.

In 1931, Elder Jeff Taylor became pastor. Under his leadership the church was accepted into the General Assembly of The Church of the Living God, The Pillar and Ground of the Truth with Bishop A.B. Williams as Presiding Bishop.

The church relocated to 602 Edison in 1933. Elder Taylor remained as Pastor for over seven years. The building was completed after Elder H.R. Knox became pastor.

In the proceeding years, there were other pastors, namely Elder Long, Elder Kelly, Elder Urias Jackson, Elder Albert Jenkins, Overseer Lonnie Wilson, Overseer C.V. Brown, Overseer James Jefferson, and our present pastor, Elder Nathaniel Mosley.

Due to the Kell Freeway Expansion Program named “Wichita Willie” the church was forced to relocate from 602 Edison to 1218 Gladious Street.

It was through the blessings and guidance of God, the leadership of Overseer Lonnie Wilson and the cooperation of the faithful members and friends, that our present facility was constructed in 1968 by Mitchell Walden Construction.

Dedication services were conducted on December 8th, 1968 by Bishop A.H. Pigg of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Church mortgage was paid off on May 25, 1977.
