About Us:
Bishop Roy C. William’s vision was that of purchasing a church building in Paterson, New Jersey as the membership at the 59 North Main St. church building began to rapidly increase. The vision to obtain a better place of worship was in the mind of both the pastor and the saints. Although it seemed far fetched because of the of the saints it was close in reach. The pursuit of purchasing a church building began with a membership of seventy-eight saints, having one voice and one heart said, “We are well able for the challenge.”
It was October 17th 1971 that the vision became a reality. The Church of Jesus Christ (Apostolic) Inc. left 58 North Main St. and marched towards their newly purchased building located 29-35 Haledon Ave Paterson , New Jersey . This was a time of great celebration. Excitement filled the air. The banner of the Church of Jesus Christ was unfurled. The saints in queue marched triumphantly towards their new edifice. Young people Bro. C. Williams and Bro. Tyrone Guiden held the banner, Missionaries: Higgins, Porter, Green, Christie, Williams, Seville, Cameron, Irving and others dressed in their white dresses, Deacons: Winston McKoy, Lloyd Cameron, Higgins, Christie, McFarlane, Lawrence, Bolt and others directed the flow of believers, Elders: Porter, Bolton, Welch, Farquharson, and others along with their pastor, Bishop R.C. Williams moved graciously towards Haledon Avenue. The sound of jubilee was in the air. The sacrifices of joy were offered to the Lord and the anointing of God rested on the saints. The service was concluded by Mr. Goodman Singer Esq., the lawyer of the church giving the benediction from Numbers 6: 24-26.
