"Waco Bible Chapel began in the late 1940s in the home of John and Judy Lane on Mockingbird Lane. In 1948 or 1949 (?), the Christians were able to buy property and build a chapel at 3300 N. 22nd Street, at which time they took their name. Several visiting preachers assisted in the earliest days of the assembly in the late 1940's and early 1950's.

* '''Tom R. McCullagh''', Guthrie, Oklahoma: "Had four nights meetings in Longview, one night at Golden, and two weeks at Waco, TX in February. Had the joy of seeing a number receive Christ as Savior. Came home to get some needed work done as I thought, but instead was flat on my back a week. However, the Lord raised me up and I went to Dallas, March 21 for two weeks meetings and the conference. Very good conference." (LaL May 1964)
