A
History of our Church
In 1988, Rev. Terry Carver began having
bible studies in the homes of a few area families. At the time, Boone was
a city with no representative of the Apostolic message, and the desire for a
church in this area was growing. After much prayer, the Apostolic Church
of Jesus Christ was established and began having services in a rented room above
Boone Roller Skating.
After a few
months in a rented office, the church was able to rent a vacant building
adjacent to a real estate complex. This was home to the Apostolic Church
of Jesus Christ for the next 3 1/2 years. Many revivals were held during
this time, and the church experienced growth. Land was purchased in Vilas,
a community about 5 miles outside of Boone, and construction soon began on a new
church building.
The new
facilities included a sanctuary, foyer, 2 sets of restrooms, 4 Sunday School
rooms, office space, a fellowship hall with kitchen, and an evangelist's
quarters. In October 1995, the new facility was officially dedicated to the Lord
and a new era had begun. The Lord continued to bless, and the church was
able to pay off the mortgage in a special "note-burning service" in 2000.
God is still
moving in a mighty way in Boone, North Carolina and the Apostolic Church of
Jesus Christ continues to be a force in this area, striving to fulfill our
motto, being "founded on the Word, and focused on the world".
