First Avenue Christian Assembly began in 1927 when a handful of people began meeting in homes for prayer. Like many other Pentecostal churches, this church began as a few people met to pray and seek more of a pentecostal experience. After meeting in homes for a short time they moved to Orange Hall and eventually a hall above a shoe store on Yale Road. From that visionary group, the church was founded and Rev. James Purse became the first pastor. The assembly built its first church on the corner of Second and Young in 1929.
