Phoenix Revival Center * Est. 1948 * Our 60th
Year!
The Wesson
family arrived in Phoenix, AZ in 1948. An Arkansas boy by birth, Garland Wesson came to the valley to fulfill a dream:
to build a Pentecostal church. After attending Apostolic College in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he moved westward to Phoenix. He soon
met Virginia Homes, the daughter of Apostolic pioneer Guy Homes. They were married in 1946 … In 1948, Garland and Virginia
pioneered the very first United Pentecostal Church, Apostolic Heritage Church—Phoenix, Arizona.
Reverend Wesson hosted a local radio show in the
mid-1950’s and 1960’s. The church continued to thrive well into the 1980’s under the ministry of the Wessons.
For many years they served as foster parents and their home was always open to wayward youth in need of loving guidance.
Tim R. McCary was saved in Turlock, California. He served
as Sr. Pastor of Phoenix Revival Center from May 1994 - August 2009. At the time of Pastor McCary's decision to
resign as Pastor of PRC, he recommended whole heartedly his long time friend, Rev. Delmon Sansom. In August of 2009, Rev.
Delmon Sansom was unanimously voted in as the new Pastor of Phoenix Revival Center.
