In the Cedar Bethel Community, the earliest Church of God services were held in the homes. Usually the people of the community would take turns leading the service, and occasionally a circuit-riding minister was available.
The Cedar Bethel Church of God was located on Sec. 4, Concord Twp. This was near the cemetery, facing east, west of a large pond. It was erected in 1870, at a cost of $1100. It was destroyed by fire and completely burned in the spring of 1919. It caught fire from trash being burned by a neighbor.
Only know minsters were:
1870 – Rev. R.H. Boulton – delivered the Dedication Sermon
1874 – Rev. T.W. McDonald
1900 – Rev. C.L. Wilson served both Cedar Bethel and Pleasant Grove.
1902 & 1903 – Rev. A.B. Chamberlin served both Cedar Bethel & Pleasant Grove
1912 – Rev. A.C. Schwenk served both Cedar Bethel and Pleasant Grove
