History
In the summer of 1930, two young ministers, Rev. Herbert Nunly, and Rev. Maurice Q. Spencer, came into Brunswick and pitched a tent on the lot where the Brunswick Fire Department building now stands. These young men were deeply involved in what was a relatively young religious faith—The Assemblies of God. Dedicated to their faith, Pentacostalism, they gathered a nucleus of people, among them the Minnicks and the Lloyds.
Rev. Spencer moved on to establish a church in Culpeper, Virginia, while Rev. Nunly decided to pastor the local church. With the help of his small congregation he built a church on West B Street where he pastored for several years. The congregation grew.
In 1979 under the leadership of Rev. James Holtz, the congregation began a larger and more modern church on a previously purchased lot at the corner of Route 17 and Souder Road. In March of 1980 Rev. Dr. Spencer, who had retired from the presidency of a New York Bible College, was called and returned to pastor the church which he helped start fifty years earlier.
Rev. Ralph Campbell is pastor in 1990.
