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.
1968
Our current building was dedicated opening
doors to all new ministry opportunities
around the world. The Ellsworth Street
Church was deconsecrated that same year.
