A Brief History of: Refreshing Springs Church of God

The Refreshing Springs Ministry started in the home of Bishop Nathan A. Perry and First Lady Eiko Grace Perry as an out growth of their family Bible study and prayer circle in the Fall of 1998. The Perry’s started inviting others to share in their Bible and prayer circle and the Lord blessed and manifested Himself in miracles and salvation.
As the group grew and started meeting on a consistent basis, the Lord led Elder Perry to call the Bible study and prayer circle Refreshing Springs reflecting how a Christian’s life is after receiving Jesus Christ as Lord. Among many scriptures, the Lord impressed these scriptures upon the Pastor’s heart when starting the church:
Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord”.
John 4:14 “But whosoever drinks of the water that I (Jesus) shall give him shall never thirst: but the water that I (Jesus) shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 7:38 “He that believe on me (Jesus) as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (Holy Ghost)”.
The Refreshing Springs Church started their journey in the Perry’s home and then moved to the West Chest Municipal Building, West Chester, Ohio in late summer, 1999. Pastor Perry had a desire to step out on faith to tell many others about the love of Jesus Christ and therefore started looking for a permanent church location. While the Perry’s looked, First Lady Perry prayed that God would bless with a church edifice that was in move-in condition—pews, music instruments, classrooms etc, so that all we had to do was just praise the Lord. We prayed that the sanctuary would be filled with believers and true worshippers. In October, 2000 the first pray request was fulfilled and God is still sending in souls. Our mantra is “Fall In Love With Jesus” for he is already in love with you.
