On June 13, 1903, A.J. Tomlinson joined The Holiness Church at Camp Creek in the home of W.F. Bryant in Cherokee County NC. R.G. Spurling was the pastor of the congregation that would take the name Church of God in 1907. Tomlinson recalled, “I had already searched and investigated many movements until my faith in them had completely exhausted. I seemed to be like a ship at sea with no rudder by which it should be controlled…. When I understood fully that they meant to stand for the whole Bible rightly divided and take the New Testament as their only rule of faith and practice, … I took the obligation with deep sincerity and extreme sacredness never to be forgotten.”
