Our main purpose is to reach this lost world for Jesus Christ our Lord. It is told in a story like this:
One day a Senior Pastor was talking to a young upcoming minister. The young minister asked the Sr. Pastor how he got to be so successful
as a pastor and minister. The Sr. Pastor went to the window and opened the curtain overlooking the large city. He then asked the young
minister what he saw out that window. The young minister looked out and saw lots of people walking up the sidewalk and busy cars going
by. And said " I see people". The Sr. Pastor said "That is your problem. You see people and I see SOULS."
In the 1930's, Holiness began to be preached in the Morgantown area by Bro. Will Johnson.
People began to hunger for the truth. This led to many brush harbor meetings, store front meetings, and house meetings.
In 1937, John W. Woodcock donated land to build a church on the outskirts of town. These trustees:
John W. Woodcock, John Wesley Johnson, Hub Embry, Herman Embry, and Cecil Phelps, along with others, built the church. They were in
that one-room building for 16 years. That building is still standing and is used once a year for homecoming. It was Pastored by Bro. Hub Embry
along with his wife Sis. Bessie.
In 1953, the Lord blessed and they acquired a building in town. Bro. Hub Embry pastored until 1983 when
he passed away. Then Rev. Elgie Johnson, son of Bro. Will Johnson, became pastor. While he was there the church was remodeled and a
fellowship hall/ Sunday school classes were added. And the building was bricked in 1988.
After Bro. Elgie Johnson, many oher ministers came and filled the role as pastor.
In 1995, Bro, Mike Anderson began to pastor. He updated some remodeling and worked very hard for the
church. He labored there 9 years and won souls to the Lord. In 2004 Bro. Brian Neighbors became pastor.
Pastor Brian Neighbors was born on June 13, 1976 to Pentecostal parents. He first received the Holy
Ghost at the age of 12. He married his wife, Sister Becky Neighbors, who was also raised apostolic, on April 1st, 1995. They have two children;
Brooklyn age 9 and BJ age 7. They started attending Belton Pentecostal Church in May of 1998. They served the Lord and the church in faithfulness.
Bro, Brian started preaching in early 1999. Bro. Brian is licensed with the
United Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ, Inc. He started pastoring in July, 2004.
