Our History
Arlene Gardens Gospel Assembly
The founding of Arlene Gardens Gospel Assembly is a tribute to the understanding that “without a vision, the people perish.” The impact and contribution of this founder’s vision can hardly be overstated. Pastor Curtis Cole (former pastor of Calvary Gospel Assembly) was the man of vision and of wisdom, who was used by God to bring to birth what we know today. Arlene Gardens Gospel Assembly stands as just one instance of testimony of great and God-honouring foresight for which PASTOR Cole was well known.

Our history continues
At the outset, the lot of the land at 112 Molynes Road along with drawings for the erection of a chapel, was bought from an American missionary, the Rev. George Dougherty. Pastor Cole who was a builder by trade, had helped his friend Rev. Dougherty in the design and preparation of the plans as Rev. Dougherty had experienced difficulties initially in getting the plans approved. When it turned out that Rev. Dougherty had to return to the United States, it was both natural and providential that he offered the property and drawings first to Pastor Cole.
More About Us
Unknown at the time to Pastor Cole or to the leadership of Calvary under whose responsibility the project at Arlene Gardens would fall, there was a dear saint of God, Mrs. Pearl Fowler who was praying that the house she lived in at 49 Woodlawn Avenue would become a house of prayer for God’s people. The house was owned by her son-in-law, and when he decided to sell, Sis Fowler, a member of Rehoboth Gospel Assembly, was able to introduce the property to Pastor Cole who arranged for the purchase. With God’s provision, Pastor Albert Karram was instrumental in the acquisition of the property. He contributed the deposit on Woodlawn Avenue which was twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00).
