PURPOSE
The purpose of the North Carolina Conference Archives is to show
God's faithfulness and grace through people's lives from the very
beginnings of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church on through
to His second coming.
Just as the children of Israel placed stones for a memorial in
and on the banks of the Jordan River, we are collecting memorial
stones of remembrance of God's goodness and faithfulness to His
people. Joshua 4:6 says: "that this may be a sign among you
when your children ask in time to come, saying, 'What do these stones
mean to you?'"
Our responsibility as a Christian is to not only win the lost to
Christ but to leave a Godly heritage to those who come after us.
The North Carolina Conference Archives is a source for studying
the lives of those spiritual pioneers such as: J.A. Culbreth, A.H.
Butler, J.H. King, G.F. Taylor, A.E. Robinson and so many others.
The North Carolina Conference Archives is called to preserve historical
records and to keep alive the happenings and experiences within
the lives of our church people, ministers and their families.
Volunteers Needed
There are many areas in which we could use some help at the Archives
in Falcon. We need someone to help with our computer system, Library
Master. We also need help with cataloging what is given, filing
these things in the appropriate places, reworking some of our files,
interviews, transcribing our interviews, sorting through boxes of
donations, and processing them. Items need to be copied and then
returned. There are several other jobs that have not been mentioned.
The list is endless! Please call and let Betty Thompson know when
you can come and help out. Thanks!
