During the year 1980, Pastors Darrell and Kathy Gooden, became the shepherds
of a small congregation of about 20 people, then located at 150 West
Atlanta Street in Tallapoosa, Georgia. God challenged this ministry
team with a vision of restoration and expansion. Thus, plans were
made to enlarge not only the physical size of the church facilities, but
also their spiritual borders as well.
In Genesis 26:22, the Word
says concerning Isaac, "And
be removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove
not: and he called the name of it REHOBOTH; and he said, For now the Lord
hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."
Rehoboth has realized part
of the vision, with a beautiful building, encompassing 14,000 square feet,
located at 290 High Street in Tallapoosa. The indebtedness on this
fine facility was completely liquidated through the faithfulness,
sacrifice and liberality of the people during the year 1998.
Already, there is a definite need for additional space.
Rehoboth has been a
"Place of New Beginnings" for many people. Our greatest
vision is to see souls saved, and to see the church filled beyond capacity
with people that God has promised to bring in from the north, south, east
and west. Our prayers are for God to speak to the hearts of the
people who read this, then our vision will be fulfilled and a new one
begun.
