Dr. Horace Ward
In 1970, Dr. Horace Ward (Church of God) along with Dr. William Menzies (Assemblies of God) and Dr. Vinson Synan (Pentecostal Holiness) founded the Society for Pentecostal Studies.

We are saddened to announce that yesterday morning, March 11, Dr. Ward passed away.

Below is a letter from the Administrative Bishop  of the Church of God/Heartland Region:                 

 

I regret to inform you that Dr. Horace Ward passed away this morning. Dr. Ward was a revered and respected church leader who spent most of his retirement years near his family in Oklahoma City, and was a member of the Southern Hills Church of God (OKC) - Pastor James Jones.

 

He is a former Dean of Students at Lee University and President of West Coast Bible College.  He is also a former Assistant Director for the Department of General Education for the Church of God. He served the Church of God as a successful pastor in several cities, including Central Parkway Church in Cincinnati, Ohio; Maranatha Church in Palm Beach Gardens, FL; South Cleveland Church of God, Cleveland, TN; and the Church of God in Easton, Maryland.  He also served on the International Executive Council for the Church of God - elected by his peers at the General Assembly.

 

Please remember Dr. Ward's wife, Marilyn, and his son and daughter-in-law, David and Paul Ward, in your thoughts and prayers during this time.
 
Sincerely in Christ, 
M. Darrell Rice,
Administrative Bishop, Church of God/Heartland Region
