In December of 1998, the Lord stirred our hearts to open up our home for a Bible Study, and by March of 1999, the Lord gave us the desire of our heart. We began with a handful of people as we together shared God’s precious Word and enjoyed wonderful fellowship for about two and a half years.
As the group grew in number and in spirit, the Lord once again stirred our hearts, this time to move our Bible study to the neighboring town of Irondequoit. We prayerfully searched and listened for God’s voice and continued to spy out the land until we knew exactly where God would have us minister His Word. Our faithful God opened the doors at Bishop Kearney High School where we met on Friday evenings for two and a half years. And on February 22, 2004, we were given permission to hold Sunday morning and Wednesday evening services.
God’s blessings didn’t end there. Not long after, Lord opened up an opportunity to occupy a building right around the corner at 1440 East Ridge Road, a former Gold’s Gym facility. So in December of 2003, we started the process of obtaining the necessary planning and zoning approvals from the Town of Irondequoit to convert the facility into a church.
The rest is HIStory. The Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us so richly. On January 2, 2005, we opened our doors for Sunday and Wednesday services in our new facility. We are called by God and dedicated to the expositional teaching of His Word to edify the Body of Christ, equip the believer, and bring souls to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We will continue to proclaim the Name of Jesus Christ until He comes to take us home. May Jesus be glorified as we proclaim Him and exalt His Holy Name.
May the Lord Jesus Bless you.
