ABOUT US
Map to our Church
Pastor Charles E. Cohenour, Sr. is our founder. He received the Holy Spirit in 1948 in Cincinnati, OH and was called by the Lord to preach on that very night. After having three dreams about opening a church here in Bloomington, he was finally convinced by the Lord to go to Bloomington in December of 1963.
Bro. Cohenour and his wife Ruth Naomi, rented the old Arlington School for church services. Bro. Cohenour preached and Sis. Cohenour lead the song services. We worshipped there for 18 months.
Arlington School -- Church
Bro. and Sis. Cohenour found a piece of property on Thornton and Maxwell. There was a house on this land that had never been lived in and didn't even have a floor. The builder had built the house three feet over on the next-door neighbors property, so he couldn't do anything with it. The house had stood there empty for three years. He sold the house and land to Bro. Cohenour for $3000, at $30 a month, then Bro. Cohenour went to the neighbors and he sold the other piece of land that the three feet of the church was on for $3000 with only one dollar down! Since then, we have built our new church onto the small one, of which we were in for five years. We have been in the new addition for 31 years Dec. 1999 for a total of 36 years.
