Church History Page 3 Rev. Douglas Ramsey became pastor on February 4, 1968. The Ramseys had been evangelists for many years. Brother Ramsey was a native of Nebraska, and married Wayva Clark in Ainsworth on September 10, 1948. The Ramseys came here from Grants Pass, Oregon. They had two sons, Gayle Douglas and Brent C. We enjoyed the musical talents of the family as well as their pastoral leadership. Average attendance at this time was 130. Members of the official board were Forrest Magoon, Charles Morrison, Malcolm Bateman, and Homer Edwards. Brother Ramsey was instrumental in the purchasing of the 10 acres of land on Riverside Boulevard for $18,000. This is the present site of the church and parsonage. This was finalized on October 5, 1972. In December of 1972 Brother Ramsey resigned to return to Evangelistic Ministry. Wayva Ramsey went to be with the Lord on May 3, 1978 after a battle with cancer. This was a great loss to the family and to her many friends here at Riverside Assembly.
