About 1945
About 1945, Deverills and the growing congregation started holding services in the old Hjorth Road Hall. Rev. D. Breen came for some meetings. Evening services were in a Japanese Hall on Timberland Road near the Fraser River. In 1946 tent meetings were held in the flats at the south end of Pattullo Bridge.

A church building was constructed on Hjorth Road (104 Ave.) very near King George Highway, with services held in the basement during construction. It was now called “Evangelistic Temple”. However it was not registered under any fellowship of churches and eventually was lost to another group.

The Church was Given the Name "People Full Gospel Church" in 1952
A core group of original members immediately stated meetings at Hjorth Road Hall. This was in 1952. Rev. Bill Thompson asked Rev. Godfred Jensen to come and be their pastor and the church was now given the name ”Peoples Full Gospel Church.”

A New Church Building in 1953
In 1953 tent meetings were held on David & Margaret Wiebe’s property. The Wiebe’s donated one of their lots for a new church building with the stipulation that it must be under a registered organization so there would be no danger of losing another building! Consequently it was registered under Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada. Pastor Jensen and the congregation, including Brother Jake Harder who had been saved under Rev. Frank Small’s ministry, worked hard constructing the new church building on the south-east corner of 104 Ave. and 140 St. in Surrey. More people started attending church services, Sunday School and Youth Group. There was a wonderful celebration at the Dedication on Oct. 11, 1954!

Rev. Robert Dean Came From Victoria in 1957 to be Pastor
Rev. Robert Dean came from Victoria in 1957 to be pastor. The property that the new church was situated on had just been bought by BC Hydro because high voltage power lines were being brought through. Hydro bought property on the north side of 104 Ave, moving the church building to the new location with the help of Nickel Brother’s Moving. The congregation bought a partly finished house beside the new location of the church. In the ten years the Deans pastored here, with the help of their son Cal and daughter Elizabeth, the Youth Group thrived and the congregation grew.

In 1967, Rev. Wes Schindel Became Pastor
In 1967, Rev. Wes Schindel became pastor and the next church building was constructed at 14456 – 104 A Ave, the dedication taking place in 1968.

Rev. Daniel Breen in 1970
Rev. Daniel Breen came in Oct. 1970 to be pastor, with Elmer “Bud” McLean being assistant pastor for a short time. Along with the growth of the congregation, came the need for further expansion, so in 1977 the section of the building which now houses the sanctuary and fellowship hall was added on. This created space for many Sunday School rooms, larger nursery space, offices, and Youth Lounge. The first service in the new building was held on March 12, 1978.) The Dedication Celebration was later in 1978.

With Pastor Breen becoming moderator of ACOP, the load was too heavy for him. In 1976 Rev. Don Carmont was brought in from the East coast to assist in youth ministry, later becoming assistant pastor. Stan Powers came on staff part time in 1979, in conjuction with teaching at Jubilee Bible College. When Pastor Breen moved to Saskatoon to be in the ACOP head office full time, Don Carmont became senior pastor (year?) Carmonts purchased the manse on 104 A Ave. Rev. W. Jack Morgan came to be Don’s assistant.

In 1984 the Carmonts moved to Lynnwood, WA, to Pastor a Church
In 1984 the Carmonts moved to Lynnwood, WA, to pastor a church. Pastor Stan Powers, Pastor Jack Morgan, and Rev. Lorne Pritchard made up a team and together filled in as pastors for the interim.

Rev. Wayne Derdall Became Senior Pastor Sept. 1988
Rev. Wayne Derdall became senior pastor Sept. 1988. During his tenure Peoples Full Gospel Church planted a new church in 1989 under the leadership of Rev. Stan Powers, at Sunrise Golf Course on Number 10 Highway in Surrey – close to Langley. Sonrise Full Gospel moved into their new building in 2001, across from Sunrise Golf Course.

Also during Pastor Derdall’s tenure, the Family Life Centre was built, housing new offices, gym, chapel, etc. resulting in the church address being changed to 14455 – 104 Ave., Surrey. Associate Pastor was Gary Langerud; Pastoral Care – Merv. Kurtz, and Youth Pastors during this time were Paul Anderton (1995) and Rev. Wes Jonat (‘90-‘93 & Oct.’99-June 2002). People were coming to know Christ and many were added to the church over the years. A ministry to the community called “Gods’ Heart Ministry” came into being. (Other congregations meeting here – Filipino etc.)

The Derdalls moved to Calgary in July, 2000 and Rev. Alan Mortensen came to serve as interim senior pastor for one year, with John Hartman doing Pastoral Care.
