A Little History

Our journey began in the living rooms of members' homes. From there we graduated to a local elementary school gym, setting up all the furniture and audio visual equipment each week transforming it into a church. Setting up and breaking down was our routine for the next 17 years in various locations until finally in 2000, an opportunity arose for us to purchase property in Long Branch! As a transient church, the Lord taught us perseverance and built our character (Romans 5:1-6). We learned first-hand that the church is the people and not the building. While our church building was being built, the Lutheran Church of the Reformation graciously welcomed our "wagon-train" and gave us the use of their sanctuary on Saturday evenings for the next 7 years. In 2007, we held our first Sunday morning worship service at 355 Joline Avenue, in the new building!
