to purchase land in Houston
and Peach counties to have a
place for all to come together

Hagan said worship ser
vices at the campgrounds are
the same today as they were
in 1939.
The style, enthusiasm,
singing and praise have not
changed, he said during a
recent interview.
While many churches
struggle with changes and
programs to attract young
people, Hagan said the young
people of Christ’s Sanctified
Holy Church are happy that
the form of worship is not
changing.

Gradually small cabins were
built.
Today, the approximately
900-acre grounds includes
cabins and larger homes.
Though many members
stay in cabins or houses dur
ing the week-long meeting,
Hagan said some also stay
in local hotels and motels.
Attendees also enjoy shop
ping in the area, he said.
Some of the houses on the
property are used by older
members who retired to the
campgrounds to reside year
round.
The Church Home for the
Aged, a nursing facility for
the elderly, is also situated on
the grounds.
It was originally construct
ed as a home for older mem
bers who could no longer live
on their own.
Many residents now come
from Perry and the surround

complete remodeling of the
present structure that hous
es the Church Home for the
Aged.
This is part of a master
plan for the facility, he said.
In 1995 a new chapel was
built for the Church Home.
Other new structures built
on the main campgrounds in
the last decade include a new
400 seat cafeteria and a new
1,000 seat sanctuary.
There are more plans for
growth in the future, said
Hagan.
“We’re not through grow
ing by any means,” he said.
There is a cemetery on the
property where members,
no matter where they live,
may be brought to be laid
to rest alongside generations
of other family and church
members.
Hagan explained that
Christ’s Sanctified Holy
Church is “just like all the
main-line Protestant denomi
nations in the country except
for our strong stand concern
ing sanctification.”
