Saskatoon Full Gospel Church

The history of the Saskatoon Full Gospel Church has its roots in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the turn of the 20th century. Pastors, from all over North America, visited and were baptized in the Holy Spirit at the Azuza Street Mission.

O.J. Lovick was a Norwegian, of Lutheran upbringing, who had come to Canada from Minnesota to work for a Christian farmer near Hanley, Saskatchewan. During that time, he was wonderfully saved. He homesteaded near Elrose, where he opened a farm equipment dealership. It wasn’t long before he began doing ministry work of singing and preaching. After marrying, he attended Rochester Bible Training School in Rochester, New York. There he was baptized in the Holy Spirit and was also healed after prayer and anointing from the famed and godly evangelist Smith Wigglesworth. This was O.J. Lovick’s preparation for ministry.
