1966 The search for land in Fairfield continued for 3 years, however, no land could be found. Plans were resumed at the Grovers Avenue site and a capital campaign was launched. In 1966, plans changed again when the City of Bridgeport rejected the building permit. Again, the Congregation turned to the Lord for direction. 3 weeks later God’s hand was evident when He opened the door to land in Fairfield just weeks later. Building permits were approved and the Congregation began a 3-year capital campaign. Skilled Congregation members volunteered their services to help the contractors build the facility at the current Black Rock Turnpike site. 1849 | 1886 | 1920-30 | 1945 | 1950 | 1958 | 1966 | 1968 1970-90's | 2000 | 02.03 | 05.03 | 09.03 future events | 11.03 | 06.04 | 09.05 A Pastor Allaby sermon in 1966 reinforced a lesson that the Congregation was being taught about God’s Will: “Only He, not we, could build a Church. Only He knew the style and location that would be best for us. It was up to us to have faith and trust in God knowing that His plans and His timetable were perfect.”
