The Lamb of God Christian Community began with our pastor, his wife and
daughter being sent out "through the laying on of hands" from a Spirit-filled
church in Greenwich, New York in the fall of 1981. Prior to that release, they
were members of that Christian Community for some four years. Our spiritual
roots are found in the ministry of Stanley R. Hanby. He was a pioneering
ministry planting some 20 plus churches in Ohio and upstate New York connecting
back to the Azusa St. revival of the early 1900's.
In October 1983 after receiving a phone call from a college student a small
prayer meeting took place at a local college campus. Through the years, the Lord
Jesus has added to the church people for His purpose. With the loving and tender
dealing of the Lord Jesus Christ, relationships between members are realized and
strengthened as a core of hearts continue to walk together as "one corporate
covenanted man" here on earth. This is where we find ourselves at this time. The
principles of love, trust, faith, hope, redemption, sanctification, along with
the foundational teachings in Hebrews 6:1,2 are taught as foundation stones
layed "line upon line" in this ministry. Understanding the metaphor of the
apostle Paul which is the "body of Christ" we endeavor to grow up and "press on
toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Phillippians 3:14. We welcome you to come and walk with us.
