In 1894, God, in his infinite wisdom, had given Sam Burkett a vision. This vision was to build a church where family members and others who wished could worship the “True and Living God.” Sam knew that in order for a church to be built there must be land on which to build it. Therefore, he donated the land at the comer of Third Avenue and Parker Street here in Bartow, Florida for the church to be built. Click Here to Read the rest of Our History >>
