Open Door Apostolic Church
of Christ was organized in 1942,?
by Bishop Joseph and Mother
C.L. Acker. A church mission
was opened on 1101 Hamlin
-Gashton St., and the membership
consisted of nine members.
The name, Open Door Apos
tolic Church of Christ, received
the name as the result of a vision
from the Lord. The word was
preached by Peter on the day of
Pentecost: The door was opened
and it lias been opened since. The
Church was chartered in 1964 and
a larger edifice was purchased on
610 Smith St. as the membership
continued to grow.
In 1971, Pastor C.L. Acker
cared for her husband as his health
failed. The membership
decreased after Bishop J. Acker's
death in 1973.
Mrs. Acker continued the
work. In 1976, the church was
sold and the members scattered.
In June 1981, open door was re
opened at its location, 922 Alder
St.
Mrs. Acker asked Bishop
Lawrence S. Tate, pastor and
founder of New Faith Chapel
Holiness Church, to serve as exec
utive bishop of Open Door Apos
tolic Church and the two merged
in service and joined together in
-fellowship.
Mrs. Acker's health failed and
during her illness, she lost both of
her legs. Dr. Lawrence S. Tate,
the executive bishop, the execu
tive bishop, appointed Elder Tony
D. Williams in April 1988 as co-*
pastor.
Elder Williams was given the
duty to keep Open Door in opera
tion, as well as build up the mem
bership. He said his main objec
tive is to be a blessing to the
Happy Hill Garden Community.
Elder Williams served as ruling
elder of the New Faith Chapel
Organization from 1987-1988,
until he was elevated as the orga
nization's overseer.
