About the National Association of the Church of God

NACOG History

The National Association of the Church of God was established in 1916 by the Brothers & Sisters in Love. We are comprised of nearly 400 African-American Church of God congregations throughout the United States. We support missions in Ghana, Haiti, India, and Sri Lanka.

We are the proud owners of the oldest and largest Black-owned campground with over 200 acres in Western Pennsylvania.

Our Grounds

The National Association of the Church of God, West Middlesex, PA, sits on several acres of land in the Shenago Valley in Western Pennsylvania. Elijah Wimbush's vision was to seek a gathering place for the people of God to worship. For several generations, the space has become a place of spiritual birthing, renewal, and transformation in the Christian faith.


As you drive up the winding road on what we affectionately call Zion's Hill, you can sense God's presence welcoming His children to this precious place of revival. The center of the grounds is the Raymond S. Jackson Memorial Tabernacle, the place of worship. In the time of Moses, the Tabernacle was the center, surrounded by the people of Israel.
