Former Pastors	Pastor David B. Mills, (Founder and current senior pastor) Pastor Bernadette Mills (Executive Pastor)
History	My wife, Bernadette and I, Pastor David, birthed the ministry initially as a bible study with an emphasis on restoring the family to Godly principles, six and a half years ago at the YWCA with about 4 people and then moved to the Howard Johnson's hotel in January 1996 and became incorporated as a church. The church continued to grow and three years ago we moved to the old Union Gospel Mission Building located at 1001 Chestnut, and rented from the mission for the entire time. The owner died in May of 2001 and we purchased the building on December 28, 2001 where we are currently located. The building is currently under construction and will be completed by February 28, 2002. Following its completion we will make sure you get a before and after shot. January 2007 Update: The new Worship Location is the World Impact Building (The Old Douglas School), 700 Central Avenue, Chester, PA.
