and Oremine Road.
...he built a church (continued)
[continued from page 1]
and the small congregation
had almost disappeared.
Pastor Hoover was invited
to fill in for a few weeks.
The congregation swelled
from 1 to 8 as old members
returned. Pastor Hoover
was asked to stay.
That was 6 years ago.
Today, the average attend-
ance at the new church is
over 100. Pastor Hoover
doesn’t care very much
about the size of member-
ship.
‘““We don’t drive for
membership, because
that’s not what’s going to
get you into Heaven,’’ he
says. ‘We believe in being
open to the Spirit of God.
We don’t care if people
belong to another church.”
It was the faith and
enthusiasm of the congre-
gation - not their numbers
or wealth— that built the.
new church.
The congregation cut
costs by providing free
labor. They painted, install--
ed insulation and did elect-
rical work.
Whenever the budget
became too tight, enough
hard-earned money sud-
denly appeared to cover
costs.
It seems fair to say that
Pastor Hoover built a
church from scratch, but he
doesn’t see it that way. He
prefers to.give the credit to
God and the congregation.
**God spoke to me and
used me as their leader,”
he says. ‘“‘Everybody was
right willing to jump in and
help.”
Members of the building
committee especially de-
serve credit, Pastor Hoover
says. They are: Glenn
Wonders, Edward
Abernathy, Bill Herr, John:
Gusler, John Smeal and
Paul Gutschall.
