The church was organized in 1914 as a Baptist church. The first pastor was William (Bill) Morgan. Prior to the organization of the church, several families held services in their homes in the Happy Corner area of South Shore. In 1914 Charles Taylor, owner of Taylor Brickyard, agreed to let the people convert one of his company houses into a church.

Circa 1917, Charlie Clare held a revival in which he preached sanctification, and the church believed and accepted this doctrine. In 1919 Mark Valeance, in a revival, shed light on the baptism of the Holy Ghost (speaking in tounges). This was the beginning of a pentecostal church.

As the attendance grew, a larger building was needed. In 1923 Taylor, owner of the brickyard, agreed to allow the church to build a new church on his company's property. The church moved into the new building in 1924.

In 1929 the church became associated with the Pentecostal Church of Christ and became a member of that organization.

During 1939 a decision was made to relocate and build a larger structure on church-owned property. A 40' by 140' lot was purchased on Second and Center Streets (now Cecil Robbins Ave.) in South Shore, and a 30' X 50' block church was built, which is the present location of our newest building.

In 1953 the church withdrew its membership from the Pentecostal Church of Christ. After looking into and considering other rules of doctrine, the church became affiliated with the Church of God Mountain Assembly.

In 1959 delegates from the South Shore church met with the Kentucky Church of God overseer, and District overseer, along with other brethren of the Church of God at a prayer conference in Catlettsburg, Kentucky. From this prayer conference a favorable report, concerning the Church of God was taken back by the delegates to the local church body. Some time later in the year, the local church was received into the Church of God organization.
