SUNDAY SCHOOL, REMODEING SHOW GROWTH OF HARRODSBURG ASSEMBLY OF GOD, FOUNDED 1933 The Assembly of God Church was founded in Harrodsburg in December 1933. The first meetings were held in the church that was rented from the Presbyterian Church and later purchased by the Assembly of God. Some of the early members were James Roberts, Rodney Edwards, Homer Perry, Walter Swango, Dora O'Neal, Charles Haggard, Ethel Robertson, Hershel Fox, Laura Daub, Vernie Kelley and their families. Some of these are deceased, some have moved away, and others are still active in the church. When the church was organized, there were approximately thirty members. These worshipers met together for some time before the church was officially set in order. Today the active membership is about fifty. The Sunday school was developed after the church was set in order and has grown to a yearly average attendance of 130 per Sunday. In 1939 a parsonage was added to the church property. It was built beside the church, as shown in the accompanying picture, under the leadership of the Rev. F. E. McDonald. Materials came from a house purchased in Bedford, torn down and transported to Harrodsburg. The present minister, the Rev. Fred O. Rice, is a native of Mishawaka, and a son of a minister in the Assembly of God.He came to Harrodsburg in July 1951. The Rev. and Mrs. Rice have two sons, ages two and four.
