Grace Assembly of God History

1972 Reverend Norton Richardson approaches the Indiana District Leadership in 1972 about planting a church in the New Whiteland area. The first services are held in the New Whiteland Community Center and assumes the name of Pleasant View Assembly of God church. Property is purchased on US Highway 31 for the future construction of a new church building.

1973 Reverend Raymond McCullough assumes the pastorate of Pleasant View Assembly of God in 1973. The church meets on the new property on US Highway 31 in New Whiteland in a trailer that is modified to be a sanctuary. The church will meet in this trailer for several years and experience growth.

1977 Pastor McCullough and congregation build and dedicate a 3,500 square foot facility on the church’s property. Numerous area Assembly of God churches pitch in to help. The building consists of a sanctuary seating 100 people, an office, a nursery, a small kitchen and a small social room. A 1,500 square foot addition is made to the existing building a few years later. This addition would host a new office and five new classrooms. The church grows tremendously under Pastor McCullough’s 16 years of leadership.

1990 Pastor Mike Winters is appointed the new pastor of the church in 1990, and the name of the church is changed to Eternal Life Assembly of God church. Pastor Mike and family spend five years ministering and building up the church.

1996 Pastor Ryan and Rhonda Wood come to New Whiteland to assume the leadership of the church in 1996. The church’s name is changed to New Whiteland Christian Center.

May 4th, 1997 Pastor Wayne and Traci Murray move to New Whiteland. There is a total of 26 people in attendance the morning of their first service.

April 12, 1998 – Easter Sunday 153 people attend the Easter service. Thirteen men of Grace present the first illustrated sermon, “The Living Last Supper.”

May 31, 1998 Reverend Mickey Davis is our special guest for a mortgage burning service.

June 17, 1998 The church is officially set in order. Rev. Mickey Davis presides over the very first business meeting conducted for Grace Assembly of God. The church, which was previously a district supervised church, is free to elect its own board and support itself.

October 1999 Construction and excavation work begins on our new 16,000 square foot building after a lengthy process of obtaining permits from the city of Greenwood and coming to settlement terms with our church’s insurance company.
