Our Church Started in a ‘Red Tent’...
In September of 1982 several Roseville community members met with Rev. Clayton J. Bowman, from Burlington, Iowa. It was decided to have a tent revival and see what the interest would be in starting a full gospel church in the community. A big red tent was set up and revival services were held with about 35 people in attendance. After the revival it was decided to start a church, titled The Living Light Tabernacle with Rev. Bowman leading the congregation. Members continued in the red tent until colder weather and then moved to a members’ home until a building on Main Street became available. Church members met there for two and a half years while construction of a new church building on South Meadow was ongoing.
Rev. Bowman, Founder, along with his son, Tim J. Bowman, pastored the church for almost 18 years. Rev. Clayton J. Bowman retired in 2000 joining his son in Moline, Illinois where Tim founded Calvary Church of the Quad Cities.
Currently, we are excited to have Pastor Les Zook as pastor of Living Light Tabernacle. The church is growing and reaching not only the Roseville community but many surrounding communities as well.
