The church was founded by Dulcie Hoffman-a female pastor-who, still today, has great-grandchildren (and their families) in our church. Since 1927, the congregation has had sixteen men and two women lead the church as senior pastors.
The original church was in "Old Mannford," located near the banks of the Cimarron and Arkansas rivers. Construction of the Keystone Dam began in 1956. Before the completion of the dam in 1964, the town, along with the church, was relocated to the present setting. A new worship facility was built in 1963.
Today, the congregation worships in our beautiful, functional 16,500 square-foot facility. The church has no indebtedness, and its facilities are valued at more than 1.2 million dollars.
But the real church isn't about bricks and plaster-it's about people! It's individuals and families over the past 75 years who have been sacrificial, faithful, and fruitful people. It's the family of this great church that have labored and loved together, making it a healthy, growing congregation.
Mannford Assembly has a great commitment to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19, 20; Mark 16:15). Along with helping to meet the needs of our local community, our church is involved in a global missions endeavor to reach the whole world for Jesus Christ. Presently, we support more than 40 missionaries and ministries on a monthly-basis. We are involved in numerous outreach ministries on the local, state, and national levels, as well.
