 FIRST ASSEMBLY of GOD CHURCH - Eufaula, Oklahoma

The Eufaula First Assembly of God Church began in 1928 , with Brother M. C. Salters and Brother Robert Long preaching in homes of friends; and in a yard at the home of Brother Robert Buie; until the winter of that year, when a house owned by Mr. Tully was rented; and which was across the street north of the County Courthouse.

Then C. P. Mitchell came with his family for a big Tent Revival.  Afterwards a Church was set in order in 1932 with seventy one charter members; it was set in order in a brick building where the present post office now stands.

A Church building was started where the present Assembly of God Parsonage now stands on Border Street and 6th Street.  The building was started by C. P. Mitchell with the walls up but he left.  A Brother Buddy Moore came and pastored for a year but never finished the Church.  Brother Robert Long took the Church and pastored it for two years and finished the Church building.  Then a Brother Foley was elected for one year.  Brother J. J. Tyler for one year; Brother Postell for one year; Brother Jewell Mott for one year; Brother Nolan Mott was elected and pastored for six years.  It was voted to move the Rock church off the hill to down - town, where it now stands, south of the post office on First Street; 119 South First ST.  The first service there was on September 10, 1944.  After Bro..
