Highland View Pentecostal Assembly

I attended this church as a child from around 1968 until the mid 1970’s. During that time, Allan Doyle was a member, along with his mom and dad. Brother and Sister Pancoast were the pastors, and later Brother and Sister Poole led the church when the Pancoast’s left for another assignment. Sister Leila Pancoast played the piano, and Sister Joyce was my Sunday School teacher for most of those years. The people I remember there were the Shifletts, the Womack family, Brother Ronnie Doyle, my cousins Terri, Freddie, Michael and Debbie Wilson, Olga Cervantes and her two kids, Loyce Pancoast and her sister, and Gabriel who lived next door. There are many more, but at the moment I cant think of their names, but I see their faces.
The church bus would pick us up every Sunday morning, it was a white van with blue interior from the late 1960’s. I think I remember Econoline written somewhere on it. We all raced to see who would get the front seat. Each year we would get a Sunday School pin which stated the number of years we attended, something we were very proud of. We also purchased candy next door at the market, and loved putting pennies on the tracks to see the train smash them.
I believe I won every contest we had. They were very good years, and very memorable.
Good to know someone from back then is now the Pastor!
