NATIONAL LEADERSHIP

 

The Jacksonville Auditorium was built under the administration of C.F. Bright (left) and J.H. Curry (right). C.F. Bright served as architect and builder for the Church of God Assembly Auditorium for the Black Work, and J.H. Curry was the first black minister appointed to serve on an early Church of God board of seventy elders, as well as being the first black minister elected to the International Executive Council. The auditorium served the local congregation and annual black assemblies for many years.
