We were blessed by tremendous growth from the Lord. Thus in 1985 construction on the new auditorium (seating for 2000+) was begun around the existing church building and completed in March 1987.

All Nations Community Church

Being a church made up of people from many different nations,  it was voted upon, in May of 2001, to acquire the name of All Nations Community Church of Homewood. Over these years many ministers and missionaries were thrust out into the field both nationally and internationally through this church.

Burn the Mortgage

July 10, 2016

Sunday, July 10, 2016, was our “Victory Sunday”; we held a mortgage burning ceremony to commemorate the paying off of our mortgage!!   As we look back at what God has done to bring us to this point, we thank God for people from various races and cultures, blended together as one body, worshipping and serving the Lord. We are looking ahead eagerly to what He is going to do. It is our prayer that everyone will experience God’s love and become complete in Christ Jesus. We also pray that we will experience a mighty revival from God.
