The 'Church of God of the Union Assembly' is a small Holiness denomination which was organized in 1920 in Walker County, Georgia by dissidents from the Church of God Mountain Assembly. It also stresses loyalty and discipline. It continues to be in the Holiness tradition. Its primary strength numerically appears to lie in the North Georgia and East Tennessee home area.
The Founder of the Church of God of the Union Assembly. Inc. began his ministry right after the turn of the century. Reverend Charlie T. Pratt was ordained October 18, 1910 in Gold Bug, Kentucky and immediately began his travels to different towns and then to different states.
The following year he traveled to Bartow County, Georgia where he held a revival. A church was organized at Cass Station and they called him to be Pastor.
By 1915 Rev. Pratt was conducting revivals in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. On February 1, 1915 he established a church in Knoxville, Tennessee. On Christmas Day 1916, the churches that he had established met in a General Assembly at Knoxville, Tennessee. At that meeting, they agreed to come together on the doctrine of the church.
In November 1919, Rev. PRATT and seven other men applied for a church charter in Bartow County, Georgia. The charter was granted and Center, Georgia became the first headquarters for the Church of God of the Union Assembly.
In 1922 the National Headquarters was moved to Dalton, Georgia where it remains today. In October, 1942 the Church was incorporated as a non-profit corporation under the Georgia Corporation Act of 1938.
Through the sacrifice and dedication of men who trusted and believed in God, the Gospel has been preached from coast to coast — and from Florida to Canada — and we now have established churches in thirteen states. Missionary work has also been conducted in Haiti.
