Description
First Assembly of God was the Tuscaloosa News Feature Church on October 30, 1970.
"The First Assembly of God is one of the 5,619 Assembly of God churches in the United States. Though this is the only church of this faith in Tuscaloosa County, the congregation enjoys the facilities of one of the most beautiful and modern church buildings in Tuscaloosa.
Located just two miles east of the McFarland Mall on the Highway 11 Bypass, the First Assembly of God is strategically placed to serve the expanding city of Tuscaloosa. Steady growth of the church has been noted in its 19 year history. The average Sunday School attendance has doubled since 1960."
For the past 2 1/2 years the church had been pastored by Reverend Nelson E. White. He is a graduate of Southeastern Bible College in Lakeland, Fla., and has been active in the Gospel ministry for 20 years. Prior to coming to Tuscaloosa, Rev. White served as the State Youth Director for the Alabama Assemblies of God. Currently, he is filling the office as the Assistant Superintendent of the Alabama District Council.
Working with the pastor in the leadership of the church is a laymen's Church Board. The five men presently serving are J. Leroy Smith, Raymond Giles, David Kennedy, Bobby Picains and Irvin Fields. Mrs. Marshall Ables is church treasurer.
Services are conducted each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Sunday school begins at 9:15 a.m., and the Christ's Ambassadors (Youth) at 6:00 p.m. Midweek service time is 7:00 p.m. Wednesdays, with choir rehearsal following. Other ministries include a Men's Fellowship, Women's Missionary Council, Royal Rangers (boys) Missionettes (girls), and Children's Church.
