Our Story
Our goal has been to equip the saints here for ministry as we grow together in the love of Jesus; but also a major emphasis is to reach many unchurched in the Rome community with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus our purpose statement: “To know Christ and to make Him known.”
God has blessed us with numerical and spiritual growth. Beginning with 20+ in attendance, we now average over 100 per Sunday.
Starting back in 1997, our church services were held in the Rome Town Hall . From mid May to mid September we worshiped outdoors under the trees on the Town Hall lawn. Since summer time sees many weekenders in the area, our numbers really swell those months. What a wonderful opportunity to “Make Him known!”
In November 2017, it was decided by the church members to become our own church entity. A few weeks later, it was voted to build a church. December 22, 2019 was our first service in the new church at 1167 Alpine Dr....just around the corner from the Town Hall. To God be all the Glory.

The lot before breaking ground.
