Dancyville Assembly of God History

The Dancyville Assembly of God has had a spiritual presence in the area since 1940 where original meetings were held on a Dancyville porch, and afterwards at local brush arbors and other temporary accommodations. In February 26, 1946 the congregation then led by Pastor lrby Campbell, purchased a former grocery story property at the junction of Whiteville Stanton Road and Highway 76 from John and Frances Stehin for a church building. Church trustees at the time included N. C. Howard, Harry F. Martin, and J. B. Campbell.

On January 5, 1955, P.E. and Janie Rogers donated a two acre plot of ground at the present church location "for the consideration that we have and hold and bear for a religious institution" meaning specifically, the Dancyville Assembly of God church. Pastor A. L. Land was the pastor at the time and was also responsible for the building of the present worship edifice. The cemetery was opened with the first internment, October 1, 1960, of Ethel Adair. The parsonage located next to the church was built in the late 1960's; the classrooms, nursery, fellowship room, and annex were added in the early 1990's.
