Combined Church History
After much prayer, upon hearing the voice of God,& submitting to the
will of God. Pastor Gilbert Lamard Allen
(Mardy) & Co-Pastor Carla Allen approached the governing bodies of both,
Greater Apostolic Church & New Life in Christ Ministries about combining
each ministry for the greater good of kingdom work. As confirmation, both unanimously agreed with
a merge & upon June 9th 2013 both churches entered 5296 Tireman as one
body. With one vision, Pastor Mardy
& Co Pastor Carla assumed all Pastoral duties & Bishop Allen continues
to serve as Bishop, Advisor & Pastor Emeritus of the church. We thank God for his power, presence and
approval upon this venture. Immediately souls
were saved, backsliders restored, people delivered & brought back
home. The spirit of unity & kingdom
work continues to increase & God has shown his blessings on our church, with
each church bringing its own anointing & giftings combining as one. We are witnessing the power of unity &
obedience! Our young people &
married couples are being revived through outings & ministries that go
beyond the four walls of the church. As
well as food pantries & 1st & 3rd Sunday dinners that help to build
unity & fellowship amongst the saints as well as outreach for the
community. We truly give all the glory
to God for the things he has & is continuing to do!!
