Fred A. Hillery

Fred A. Hillery

Fred A. Hillery (c. 1870-?) was one of the 10 founding fathers of the Church of the Nazarene. He was a leader of the eastern movement of holiness which eventually merged with the western and southern movements. Hillery was noted for his continued efforts for the cause of holiness after facing tough opposition.

On May 12, 1886 he became president of the Providence Holiness Association, after being kicked out of his Sunday School class by pastor, E. D. Hall. After his removal, Hillery started, with 48 other people from St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, the People's Evangelical Church. By 1887 Hilery was tried and expelled from the Methodist Church. In 1888 Hillery began publishing "Beulah Items" (later the "Beulah Christian") which would eventually become the "Herald of Holiness" and then "Holiness Today". ["Called Unto Holiness" page 58]

Hillery also became a member of the Association of Pentecostal Churches of America, [The founding denomination of the Pentecostal Collegiate Institute.] In 1895, he joined the Nazarene Church. ["Called Unto Holiness" page 63-64]
