Answer: (A)

Sanctification as a second work of grace is the focus here. In the 1896 revival near Camp Creek, Cherokee, the central gathering where this emphasis took hold was the Shearer Schoolhouse. It became the place where preachers and believers pressed for cleansing from sin and a deeper holiness, helping to solidify the Church of God’s early understanding of sanctification as a distinct experiential work alongside justification. The other sites—Bible Training School, Evening Light, Camp Creek Church—are tied to different facets or periods of holiness teaching, but the revival’s distinctive emphasis on sanctification is closely linked to the Shearer Schoolhouse.
