→1921: Maplewood Gospel Hall / Bible Chapel, St. Louis, MO
During the 1920s, the Maplewood Gospel Hall, as it was then called, held evangelistic tent meetings on an adjacent lot, with many visiting preachers. In the 1930s and 1940s, street meetings were common and held in St. Louis, Maplewood, Webster, and East St. Louis, IL. A Young Men’s Prayer and Bible Study was started in collaboration with other assemblies. A yearly Young People’s area-wide Conference and a bi-yearly area-wide Sunday School Teachers Conference were begun.
In 1935, Maplewood Gospel Hall published the Exhorter and a Chorus book. Radio ministries have included a KSTL Family Bible Hour and a broadcast by the young people of the assembly. Bible studies for Jewish friends were held in homes. Messianic Forum on Pine Street in downtown St. Louis was held weekly in May 1948. Palabras Fideles Fieles (Spanish Faithful Words) was started by Carl Ostertag. The assembly has commended many people to the Lord’s work at home and to countries such as Ecuador, Peru, Korea, SouthEast Asia, and Ireland
In 1949, several assemblies: Maplewood, South Side, Kossouth, and Bible Hall, began the Masokobi Bible Camp for children. Now called Dayspring Bible Camp, the facility was purchased by the St. Louis assemblies in 1987.
