The church was located on Little
Garden near Oakwood. It was thought to be built in 1938 or 1939 by the
late Rev. Charley Clayborne. Service was held there until the early 1950s,
when the Rev. Grat Harton of Richlands joined the ministry and discovered
the church had become too small for its growing congregation. A garden was
donated by Clayborne in 1955 for the construction of another church.
Harton continued to pastor until 1963 and was followed by J.R. Stump until
1976. In 1970, the church was moved to its current location, as the Keen
Mountain Pentecostal Holiness Church on Route 460. Rev. Jack Keen took
over pastoring duties until 1983 and was followed by Randy Webb, who
continues there today. This photograph was submitted by Helen
Meadows.
