First Assembly of God in Greeley, Colorado, began "Building
Bridges" to our community in 1910. The first Pastor was Rev. Axel Anderson and
he held the first meetings in his home. Prior to 1914, the fledgling
congregation held together by utilizing house-to-house prayer meetings in
various homes. In 1914, the congregation of First Assembly began meeting in an
upstairs room over a garage on 8th Avenue. In 1921 the church was worshiping in
the basement of the old "Greeley Building" on the corner of 8th Street and 8th
Avenue. Between 1925 and 1943, the church relocated five different times and
finally, after thirty-three years in existence, property was purchased at 9th
Street and 13th Avenue.
The new sanctuary was built during the latter days
of World War II and it was dedicated on Sunday, June 8, 1947. In 1980, ground
was broken on the new property that was purchased at 3000 W. 16th Street, our
present location. Later that same year construction began on a 33,000 square
foot facility with a sanctuary that seats nearly 1,000. Our roots here at First
Assembly run deep and the tenacity that drove those who have gone on before us
is still alive in the hearts of our Church Body today. Our rich heritage has
laid a solid foundation and has paved the way for us to continue "Building
Bridges" to our community.
