| Post subject: | Mat: Ky history help |
| I need some history help on the Church of God in the state of Kentucky. First, who was the first State Overseer, and secondly, when and where did the first State Convention/Camp Meeting?I can't find my Book of Minutes that covers that era, and not sure the details would be in the Assembly Minutes anyway. Could use some help, so if you find it, post it, and include source if you will.Thanks, |

| OTCP,With you interest in KY and your access to the resources in Cleveland, surely you can pin point a date and location for the first KY Convention/Camp Meeting. |

| I know nothing about Kentucky, but curosity got the best of me. What years are we talking?I was just wondering how many states had an overseer early?My dad joined the COG from the Fire Baptized in the 20's as an /evangelist. He was ordained in 1940 after organizing and building the S.Gastonia COG in NC. I always considered him a pioneer COG minister. Church history did not interest me. I never heard a bad word about the split, since it was probably before his time, but I never pictured many states involved in the 20's.Anyway, I was just curious what years you are talking about. I tried to post this on my antique Laptop a couple days ago. Musta got lost! LO Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| Post subject: | Mat: 1911(?) |
| I think it was 1911 when state overseers were first appointed. Maybe 8 states or so. Still trying to fine out when KY had its first convention. |

| According to The Church of God of Kentucky - A History 1911-1987. The first State Overseer was Sam Perry, appointed in 1911. The first four churches were organized during 1914-1915: Blanche, Dallas, Somersrt and Cedar Grove. The first record of a Kentucky Campmeeting was a 2 week campmeeting held in July of 1916 at Big Clifton. |

| Its not useless, its just that sometimes we discuss useless things and ask useless question or make useless remarks (me included in all three of the above). The question I asked for a COGOP pastor in KY as they get ready for their State Conference/Convention/Camp Meeting (or whatever it will be called). I knew someone on Acts had the right answer. |
