This Pentecostal denomination, headquartered in Cleveland, Tenn., was introduced on the Delmarva Peninsula in 1919 when the Rev. Paul H. Walker of North Dakota held a meeting in Princess Anne. The first church building, a simple frame structure no longer standing, was erected here in 1920 on land donated by Sidney and Bertha Dryden. The congregation moved in 1944 to Salisbury, where it founded the Parkway Church of God. Walker Memorial Church of God was established in Princess Anne in 1969. The denomination had begun nationally in 1886.
