Subtopic 1: Describe the origins and development of the selected religious group
Description of Concrete Experience: My introduction and experience with the Holiness Church began at the age of eight years old.

The summer of 1986 a new family moved next door. The family consisted of the mother, father and five children. They were devout church goers and they invited me to attend a revival meeting at their church. My grandmother gave me permission to attend, and upon my attendance I heard a different message from what I had become accustomed to.
