OUR HISTORY
OUR PHILOSOPHY

TRADITION OF DIVERSITY
Led by the Holy Spirit, a small group of individuals; who with faith in God and prayer as their divine guidance...had a vision of their faith in God. Later this vision materialized as a small plot of land that would someday stand as a memorial
In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighteen, six people; Elder & Sister C. Harris, Brother and Sister Tom Wheeler, Deacon and Sister Wiggins purchased a small plot of land on the corner of 14th Street and Fourth Avenue South in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
Georgia Gibson. These saints proceeded to build a little wooden church, 14th Street Church of God in Christ. In the process, Pastor Elder C. Harris; fell ill and went on to be with the Lord. Determined to carry out God’s work, these old patriots completed their temple of worship. Working along with the founders was Mother Eugenia Gibson, and her husband Amos Gibson and daughter,
Historical Perspective
Throughout the years, 14th Street Church of God in Christ continued
to grow and prosper under the auspices of such men of God as Elder Barr, Elder Smith, Elder Nettles, Bishop E. V. Johnson, and the late Senior Pastor, Superintendent (Elder) Clarence Welch.
Under the pasturage of Bishop Johnson, the old wooden church was renovated.
_____________________________________________
In 1964, he appointed Elder Clarence Welch as Pastor. Elder Welch was led of the Lord to change the name of the church to Prayer Tower Church of God in Christ.
Under the leadership of Elder Welch and the anointing of God, many great and wonderful works have been accomplished.
Such accomplishments include the addition of a multi-purpose building to the14th Street Church of God in Christ and interior redecoration.
TODAY AND BEYOND
More important than the physical accomplishments is
the fact that souls have been and are still being saved
and dedicated to God’s work.

in the Tampa Bay area and is the Mother Church for the
Church of God in Christ in Saint Petersburg, Florida. For these
and all other blessings, we declare the Glory of God.With the growth of the city’s downtown area, relocation of the church was necessary and a new edifice was totally reconstructed.
