Pastor Dan and Louise Swartz were first to hold meetings to test the interest of the Omak area. They drove from Tonasket during the school year of 1943-44. That summer, they set up tent meetings and organized the church’s charter. The Charter members include Albert and Ruth Mitchell, Elva Mae Rose, Elmer and Ethel Mitchell, Lois Winders, Dorothy Hill, Zona Stevens , Evelyn Wilson and Mrs. Eliza Harris.

Rev. James Wiles was the first Pastor and built the first church building at 19 S. Douglas St., which still stands. Sunday School classes met in every area of the new building in the sanctuary, basement, the parsonage next door and in a small annex building behind the parsonage. It was exciting to have a full program. Something for every age group.

In the mid 1950’s land was purchased at Locust and Riverside Drive, which is our present location. Pastor Marvin Ensign and George Frix started construction on a larger facility in 1959. Mr. Frix was the only paid construction worker. When the church ran out of money, Mr. Frix would continue to work without pay until the church could “catch up”. Finances were tight, so the congregation put much physical labor into the building project. The building was completed and the congregation moved in in December of 1961.
