East Pine Knot Tabernacle Church Of God
Our History :
Our History Header
The East Pine Knot Tabernacle Church of God was originally built in 1940 by Mitchell Trammell and Elihue Privitt. There was some free labor. Brother T. Chitwood, seeing the need of a church in the community, gave the land for the church building. The lumber to build the church was sawed from his farm. Sunday school rooms were built next to the church in 1971. The church was established on August 24, 1941. Brother Frank Cornelious was elected pastor; Brother Bill Trammell, treasurer; Sister Nellie Gilreath, clerk.
Original Trustees: Bill Trammell, Frank Cornelius, Matt Moore
14 charter members: Rev. T. Chitwood, Laura Chitwood, Georgia Chitwood Thomas, Rev. Frank Cornelius, Kathlene Crabtree, Marie Chitwood McBeth, Zelia Cornelius, Mary Hayes, Nellie Gilreath. Johnny, Gilreath, Matt Moore, Hazel Moore, Laura, Moore, Owen Moore
In 1987 the old church building was replaced with a new building including Sunday school rooms almost on the original site. The original building was moved and converted into a home for the granddaughter of Rev. T. Chitwood. The Sunday school rooms were converted to a Fellowship Hall. Our first service in this new Church was September 13, 1987. Bro. Cecil Trammell, who taught the adult Sunday school class, taught the first less from Colossians. He taught the adult class for about 45 years. The mortgage was burned on September 1, 1991 during the Sunday morning Assembly service.
On Sunday, November 10, 2002, at about 6:45 P.M. during service, the Fellowship hall and the Shelter house were destroyed by a storm and major damage was done to the church itself. On Wednesday, November 13, 2002, services were reconvened at a converted portion of the old Academy Broadway factory. Land was bought and construction of a new Church and Fellowship Hall was commenced on March 5, 2003. On July 3, 2003, we moved into the new Fellowship Hall where we held services until the completion of the new Church. The steeple was placed atop the new Church on Monday, July 21, 2003, by Pastor Rev. William Kilby. Our first service in the new Church was on September 28, 2003. On October 13, 2003 we had our dedication service.
