Church History
SPIRIT OF FAITH CHURCH HISTORY
Spirit of Faith Church came forth from a seed planted by God in the heart of Reverend Roscoe Mason. After serving as a Pastor for approximately 3 years, and serving in the ministry several years prior to that, Pastor Mason received the urging of the Holy Spirit to “plant a new church”. With much prayer and guidance from God—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, planning for this church began, and on the 1 st Sunday in February 2016, our first service was held in Kemp School gym. At that time, we did not have a church name. After a church meeting was held with input from the members, The Spirit of Faith Church was incorporated on February 7, 2016. We are known as the " Church with Open Arms." Accepting everyone who enters our church doors. We began with humble beginnings, pockets filled with faith and obedience. We rented the school gym for only 3 months until God made a way for the purchase of our current location.
