Our congregational history started in August of 1927 when the Reverend Arthur W. Erickson, a spirit-filled Methodist evangelist started nightly services inside of his tent in the city of Maywood, California. These evangelistic meetings produced a number of born again Christians that included many young people. With this nucleus of born-again Christians the Maywood Full Gospel Assembly came into being. In October of 1927 the congregation started meeting in a hall on Slauson Avenue in the W end of Maywood. The meetings continued until the building was sold in the fall of 1930.
