Over 80 Years of History
The history of the Saskatoon Full Gospel Church has its roots in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the turn of the 20th century.
Pastors, from all over North America, visited and were baptized in the Holy Spirit at the Azuza Street Mission.
O.J. Lovick was a Norwegian, of Lutheran upbringing, who had come to Canada from Minnesota to work for a Christian farmer near Hanley, Saskatchewan. During that time, he was wonderfully saved. He homesteaded near Elrose, where he opened a farm equipment dealership. It wasn’t long before he began doing ministry work of singing and preaching. After marrying, he attended Rochester Bible Training School in Rochester, New York. There he was baptized in the Holy Spirit and was also healed after prayer and anointing from the famed and godly evangelist Smith Wigglesworth. This was O.J. Lovick’s preparation for ministry.
He returned to Saskatchewan and began meetings in various towns southwest of Saskatoon. God honored his call by granting exceptional miracles of healing and salvation to many local people. Lovick felt God’s further call to “establish churches throughout Saskatchewan.Prophetic messages and personal experiences with God continued to confirm the Lord’s leading. In obedience to this call of God, Lovick established Apostolic churches in Swift Current, Regina, Moose Jaw, Yorkton (in that order), and then, in March of 1924, meetings were held in Saskatoon.Old Knox Presbyterian Church, located at the south end of 2nd Avenue next to the river, was rented for meetings. The church seated twelve hundred people. It was packed nightly to hear Lovick’s powerful messages of salvation and divine healing. The altar area of the church was decorated with crutches, trusses and other items that were left behind as a result of the many healings.
The Lovicks stayed in Saskatoon for six months, and then moved on to Alberta and finally Los Angeles, California. Our church in Saskatoon was born and has since then been blessed with several powerful pastors through the years to the present.
The Lord has blessed the church under the ministry of Apostle Rev. Terry Noel who came to us from Durban South Africa and who has graduated from Christ For The Nations Institute with Associate Degree in Practical Theology and the Masters International School of Divinity with a Master of Ministry and Bachelors Degree of Ministry and had a Honorary Doctorate conferred on him in Practical Theology from the Ablaze Academy. In August 1999 the church name was changed to‚ Saskatoon Full Gospel Church‚Inc. Now,the Sasktoon Full Gospel Church is working not only in the city of Saskatoon but actively in our Provinces and Nations. Today the Saskatoon Full Gospel has affiliated under the Bridge Ministry International Inc. a network of ministers of like minds and ministries with a common desire to see the nations touched by the power of God a global Apostolic Ministry. The church today has one of the most diverse international populations of believers in the city of Saskatoon and its a place you can always feel at home no matter what country you have come from because here people are made to celebrate their differences and uniqueness.
