According to her, the Assembly of God congregation began here in private homes in the late 1920s, first with Sunday school, then with adult services added. A church building was dedicated in December of 1937 on Bald Eagle Drive near the present Riverside Club in Olde Marco. Deltona gave land for all of the churches on the island in the '70s, and later decided to ask these churches to take care of the cemetery. The Assembly of God was the only one which accepted, and Deltona deeded the cemetery to them in 1982. The church moved its original building on a flatbed truck to the cemetery location in April of that year, and soon broke ground for a second building.
Plans are underway for a small mausoleum and more columbarium space in the near future.
The cemetery is completely ecumenical. There are people of all faiths buried there and the Jewish congregation on the island has purchased over a hundred plots within the cemetery over the years. There are two lovely statues on the grounds. One is St. Francis of Assisi, which was given to Jane Hittler, who kept it at her home for several years. She finally asked permission to place it in the cemetery, and it stands there now, overlooking her husband's grave.
