About Lighthouse Assembly Of God Church

May 1926

Mrs. Myrtle Chambers, an Ordained Minister with the Assembly Of God,  along with her husband Charlie, came to Avon, N.C for a tent revival meeting having chartered a schooner boat to transport her tent to Avon after completing a meeting in Elizabeth City, N.C.  People from Avon, Buxton, Frisco, Hatteras, Rodanthe and Salvo attended the revival.  Concluding the services after several weeks, the Chambers’ returned to their respective home.

The Chambers returned to island annually  for more revival services held in Avon, Buxton and Hatteras and led the efforts to raise funds to build structures around the island.

in 1932 the first church structure was built in Buxton on the Buxton Back Road and the first official pastor was Rev. Ralph McMacan. In later years the church was moved to it’s present location on Highway 12 in Buxton.

Coming from Akron, Ohio to Hatteras, N.C. in 1937 for revival was Andrew Sterling, a young man formerly from Glasgow Scotland.  Rev. Sterling was invited to Buxton for revival where he made his home and served both as the pastor of Buxton AG as well as then 2nd Superintendent of the North Carolina District Assembly of God.
