It was in the fall of 1920 that a holiness campaign was held
in Eldon, MO by the Rev. R.T. Hodges and continued under
the messages of Rev. L.W. Dodson, who was the Missouri
District Superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene
at that time. This revival resulted in 18 of the individuals
in attendance being led by the Holy Spirit, to join together
as charter members to organize the Eldon Church
of the Nazarene on October 17, 1920
with Mr. and Mrs. I.B. Medler serving as the first pastors
of the congregation.
Charter Members:
Mrs. Etta Beard Miss Pauline Bradford
Miss Ethel Boan Mrs. Fanny Boan Miss Mabel Cain
Moses L. Cain Mrs. Rhoda Cain Mrs. Frances Davenport
Charles Kellogg William A. McKinley Miss Eulah McMillian
Lem Pace Mrs. Louise Pace Mrs. Alice Shelton
Mrs. Nellie Simmons Mrs. Lela Watts Mrs. Ada Woods
Charles Woods. The town of Eldon had only been in existence
for 38 years when the church began, but with a population
of about 2,600 people it was apparent there were souls
to reach and the inspired group wasted no time in seeking
a property in which they could begin their work.
God provided the perfect building they needed, a movie house
right downtown on Maple Street.
However simple as the building was, it would still need
a change of atmosphere from being known
as “The Universal Theatre”, to the new church that would
now be a refuge for those that were seeking a total
transformation through this holiness message.
