Originally built in 1930 and maintained by an independent congregation, the church was first known as the Full Gospel Temple of God.
In 1931, the church was dedicated by the Reverend Earl Pottinger and received its charter as an independent work from the Assemblies of God.
Four years later, in 1935, the congregation voted to cease as an independent and become an affiliated church of the Assemblies of God.
The church was set in order by the district superintendent of the State of Illinois that same year, and the name was changed to Assembly of God Church.
The Reverend Samuel P. Bell was called as the first pastor. (Writen by Theodore Andrach)
