Church of God Black History Educational Resources Available
A Church of God Black
history PowerPoint presentation on CD is now available from the Dixon
Pentecostal Research Center. The theme of the presentation is
"Honoring People of Vision & Courage: Church of God Black History
Exhibit." It highlights the influences, early history, national
leadership, and women’s ministries of the "Church of God Colored Work."
The "Church of God Colored
Worked" was formed in 1922 because of the growing constituency among
blacks in several states. Their ministries included annual assemblies, an
orphanage and school, a system of financial support, and state overseers.
The "Colored Work" eventually integrated with the general church in 1966.
The PowerPoint CDs are $10
which includes shipping and handling.
Also available are a postcard of a 1924 baptism in
Eustis, Florida, and the Church of God History and Heritage
Winter/Spring 2003 Issue about the "Church of God Colored Work." Detailed
information about these resources is available at the Research Center
