In 1971 Elder James E. Byrd Sr. was remodeling an old building that he had rented to conduct a revival service in Perris Valley of Riverside County California).
One afternoon in the month of June (exact day not certain), Elder Byrd was driving his car down Pennsylvania Avenue in Riverside California, returning to his sisters house where he was staying. As he was riding along praying to the *Lord* for guidance in his works.
*THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD*!
Moved over him and revealed these words to his mind;
THE CHRIST CHURCH OF UNIVERSAL LOVE.
After hearing those revealed words he continued to pray about the revelation. *God* made it known to him that this was a work for him to perform. The revealed words; The Christ Church Of Universal Love was the name of the church organization that he had to build.
The proper steps were taken by Elder Byrd and local proceedings began in 1971.
On October 22, 1971, it was recorded and registered in the state of California by the secretary of state.
On February 11, 1972 a certificate of authority to operate in the state of Florida was granted. In 1973, after many sacrificial contributions, *God* abundantly blessed Elder Byrd (now Bishop Byrd) his wife, and a few faithful members to purchase land in Largo, Florida, in a time of recession.
Yes, land was purchased through and by the blessings of *God*.
In 1977 *God* so graciously provided with the means and support to purchase a permit and building proceedings began.
On November 29, 1981 Elder Byrd (Now Chief Apostle-Bishop Byrd) and others moved in Mortgage free and in the spring of 1982 the building was dedicated and still remains mortgage free.
An addition to this edifice was built- lovingly called The Activity Center
(again mortgage free)!
Praise *God* Hallelujah!
