Neal Kight to Speak at First Assembly July 1st
Neal was the founder of the local Assembly of God in 1982. The work began as a prayer meeting in his home and grew to a store front on Broad Street. Later property was purchased on Murphy Street and a church was built there. Recently the new sanctuary was built on the Cookeville Highway.
Brother Neal lives in Silar City, NC where he and his wife Sharon have pastored the Church of God Ministries there for many years. This will be their first visit to the new facility here in Smithville. He will review how the work began and then bring the morning message.
After establishing the work here, Neal later went to Gallup New Mexico to serve as a missionary to the Indians for about ten years and built several churches there as well. He and Sharon met at a camp meeting and her passion at the time was to become a missionary as well. After they married, Sharon joined him on the mission field. They now have two children Danae and Sean.
Ann Stevens, Neal’s mom also visited the Assembly recently and commented on how far the work had come since a handful of friends began to get together for prayer. Sunday morning attendance is now running about 140 to 180 with a record crowd of 250 on Easter morning.
Come join us for an exciting service Sunday July 1st at 10:45 A.M. at 1650 Cookeville Highway.
