Faith Tabernacle Church History in 1958, the church is formally known as the Monticello Church of God of America, Inc was formed in a small house on a country hill which was founded by Cassie Ammons (Deceased). Ammons enquired to then Bishop A.R. Smith Danville, Kentucky of the Church of God of America Inc, that a church needed to be established in Monticello, Kentucky. Many saints from around the
area attended the first services. Many individuals have testified that the services were spiritual and many people from the surrounding neighborhood would come to the windows to see what was going on during the services. Many souls were saved and filled with the Holy Ghost. On Sept 17, 1958, land was purchased and deeded to the Church of God of America for the sum of $1.10. In its 64-year history, the church has seen many bishops and pastor’s throughout its history. These include, but not limited to Bishop A.R. Smith, (Danville, Kentucky) Bishop G.A.
