Our church was founded more than 100 years ago. Several faithful people journeyed ahead of us, attaining many milestones. This prepared the way for the present move of God. In May of 1996, the Lord sent Bishop Daniel Robertson, Jr. to Mt. Gilead. His style of preaching, teaching, and motivating attracted worshippers to our service and his compassion for God’s people kept them coming back Sunday after Sunday. We grew from 25 members to more than 1,900 within five years.

We soon became one of the fastest growing churches in the Richmond Metropolitan area, moving from one service on Sundays to three services in order to accommodate the growth. Not only did we increase in members, but we also increased our land in order to carry out God’s vision for the ministry.

We now have a family that consists of members, ministry partners, and friends that exceeds 6,000. We are thankful to God for those He has sent to help fulfill His vision thus far, and we are also excited about those He is yet sending, as we continue Pursing, Advancing and Taking Territories!
