The first Holiness Christian Church General Conference was held in Mt. Calvary Church in Reading, Pa., in March, 1897. At this conference the name Holiness Christian Association was changed to Holiness Christian Church. The organization saw the need of a church paper, and the paper, known as The Crown of Glory, was launched as the official organ of the church. It was first published in Pennsylvania, but later moved to Indiana, and at the annual conference held at Tipton, Indiana in 1906, it was discontinued, and another paper launched under the heading of "A Voice From Canaan."
