Apponaug Pentecostal Church History
From very early in its history, Apponaug has been known as the home of a number of churches. Warwick Central Baptist Church was founded in 1834, St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church in 1882, St. Catharine’s Catholic Church in 1916 and Apponaug Pentecostal Church in 1943. These churches had humble beginnings and have contributed a great deal to the history and heritage of Warwick, and the most recent, Apponaug Pentecostal, is no exception.
In 1943 Hazel O’Dell, who was associated with the Zion Bible Institute in East Providence, began holding prayer and Bible study meetings in her home in Warwick. This was during World War II, when gas shortages made travel from Warwick to East Providence difficult. From the beginning, the Zion Bible Institute had a very pronounced influence on the Apponaug church. The Zion Bible school, also named the School of the Prophets and the Mount Bible School, was founded in 1924 by Rev. Christine Gibson. As the school grew it began a program of establishing churches in Rhode Island.
In 1945 Rev. Edward B. Hill of Zion Bible Institute purchased a small 27’x36’ building on a 40’x100’ lot at 75 Prospect St. and Apponaug had the beginnings of a fourth church. Over the next 10 years the church grew under the guidance and influence of the Zion Institute. Revs. Jelley and Wannamake served as pastors until 1950. They were both from the Zion Institute. For a brief time, Sister Goodwin and then Rev. Shaver served as interim pastors. In 1950 Rev. Crawford, also from Zion, became pastor and led the church for the next five years. This was all during the period when the Zion Bible Institute had its campus in East Providence and before it became affiliated with the Assemblies of God.
In February 1955, the Apponaug Pentecostal Church decided to become an independent body but continued its association with the Zion Bible Institute. At that time, the small church building was close to the road and had started to attract a number of visiting preachers and began to increase the number attending Sunday school. It was then significant changes began to happen. In October, Rev. Crawford resigned, in November the church purchased a parsonage and, in that same year, Rev. Robert Gooding, who had been in Rhode Island during World War II as a Seabee, relocated from Virginia to work at Quonset Point.
Within a very short time, it became obvious that Mr. Gooding was the leader the church was seeking and he became pastor of the church in 1956. He maintained that position from then until his death in 2002, and the church elders feel that their growth and success is due in large part to the reverend from Virginia. In 1963 Pastor Gooding received an honorary degree from the Zion Bible Institute and, during that same year, the church had grown to the point where an addition was needed and added.
The pastor lived in the parsonage on Centerville Road until the building was sold in 1968. He served the church without a salary until 1972, when he retired from Quonset Point and was able to move into his own home. Rev. Gooding is generally credited with helping to bring about the Catholic charismatic renewal in Rhode Island from his speech at Our Lady of Providence Seminary entitled, “The Place of the Holy Spirit in the Church Today.”
