The Peru Church of God was originally founded in Plattsburgh in or around 1960 and
the first building was on the Tom Miller Road where the United Way building now
stands. From Tom Miller Road, under the Pastoral leadership of Frank Fowler, sold
that building and purchased and moved to Wall St. Under the pastoral leadership of
Philip Yannone, we sold that building and purchased and moved the current building in
Peru. The current building was formally the Caristrap Factory Building and has
undergone internal renovations. We are currently in what I call phase 2 of 3. The top
floor was renovated to accommodate the Yannone family. When the Yannone family left
the area, we decided to use this part of the building for our meeting. We then divided
the lower section by building a wall and renovated that westerly section. Once
completed, we moved down stairs and use the upper level for fellowship functions and
easterly section which is approximately 65'x65'. We are also blessed to be 8.5 Acres of
land fronting on Route 9, Caristrap Road and Jabez Allen Road with a beautiful view of
Lake Champlain and Vermont. The land itself was part of the William Baggs' farm
I do not know the early Pastors but the following list is from personal knowledge,
although the dates maybe and are most likely incorrect, but close. Before 1980 the
Pastor was Phillip J. Casterline. Larry Deming was Pastor from around 1980 to around
1985. Frank Fowler was Pastor form around 1986 to around 1993. Philip Yannone
was Pastor from around 1993 to around 1998. The current Pastor, Daniel Elder, was
set in as Pastor in 1999.
The original name was the Plattsburgh Church of God. It was later changed to the North
Country Harvest Church of God when we moved to Peru. It was later changed to the
current name, Peru Church of God.
