There are actually two histories to this ministry. The first is that of Pursuing the Truth Ministries and the second is of the church. The church is actually an outgrowth of the PTM Ministry.
The History of the Ministry
Pursuing the Truth Ministries was founded by William R. Cunningham. William vehemently promotes the study of the Bible and the necessity to be free of the dogma that so proliferates the church community. This personal ministry resulted in the creation of a monthly family fellowship and Bible study on April 23, 1994. William also began teaching a daily Bible study at his place of employment, taught Bible study classes in church, and lead the education department in his church.
The website was created in 1998 and extended the biblical resources to the whole world. William continued teaching in churches but began to feel the need to stretch out so he could freely promote the principles of Bible study that he believed in. He pastored Oasis Christian Fellowship for two years until he and his family relocated. Then in 2003, he decided to take Pursuing the Truth Ministries outside of the Internet and have regular workshops and seminars. A church portion was created rather quickly to accommodate the need for fellowship. Pursuing the Truth is now a Christian educationally oriented ministry touching lives with the Word of God.
