About Us

In 1974 a small congregation of about a dozen people, with the hope of beginning a Pentecostal church, began to meet in various homes in Purcell, Oklahoma. The Assemblies of God, Inc. owned a vacant church building located at 210 Comanche Street in Purcell. The people who were meeting together, soon formed a relationship with an ordained minister of the Pentecostal Church of God, Inc., his name was John Ogle. He agreed to represent them, as their Pastor, to the Pentecostal Church of God, Inc., with the hope of becoming a recognized church in association with the Pentecostal Church of God, Inc. He and two other of the group’s leaders subsequently met with the state Superintendent of the Oklahoma District of the Pentecostal Church of God, Inc., Fountie Ridley, and were granted church status. They were also introduced to a woman, Agnes I. Davis, who periodically made loans to new church groups. Pastor Ogle made contact with her and secured a loan for $15,000 to purchase the building and property, (that loan was subsequently paid in full by the members of Lighthouse Worship Center, Inc. on August 20th, 1988).
