Parkway Bible Assembly is an open brethren meeting in Winston-Salem that has been active since prior to 1927. It was initially a home assembly, until Lester Wilson moved there in 1936, and labored until it built a chapel in 1939. By 1965, it had rebranded as Parkway Gospel Chapel, and then as Parkway Chapel, and more recently as its current name. C.W. Fulk was a contact in 1993.

1946 Letters of Interest

The article is titled Six Lovely Halls In Piedmont Section of North Carolina chronicling the founding of the assemblies in Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Burlington, Siler City & Durham.

"Four or five Christians met in a home occasionally when Lester Wilson went there in the spring of 1934. After five years' labor in this city the above chapel was built with an assembly of about 90 meeting in it. A nice growing Sunday school was also conducted. In May 1939 brother Harold Mackay moved to Winston-Salem, relieving brother Wilson for more new work.

Bro. Mackay remained in Winston for 4 1/2 years, contributing greatly to the establishing and growth of the work. Some forty were added to the testimony during brother Mackay's stay, as well as the Sunday school being organized and built up. After brother Mackay left, brother Gordon Reager spent a few months in Winston and saw a few saved. Bro. Bousfield then located in Winston and labored for nearly two years contributing to the work. He is now in Siler City and the local brethren are doing fine. The Sunday school is over 200."
