OUR HISTORY
JHC started out as a
house fellowship in July 1996 at an
apartment on the southside of Chicago. The
first meeting was attended by seven people
and this was our humble beginning.
The fellowship rapidly
grew to about 30 people within a couple of
months. The inauguration of the Church took
place at the Bismarck Hotel, Downtown
Chicago on November 17th 1996
which became the temporary worship place
until we moved to Garfield High School on
the south side for a few weeks.
In January 1997, the
Church had to move again and 1743 N Clybourn
Avenue became our new worship place. Here
the Lord increased us above and beyond all
our expectations as we grew in leaps and
bounds. We were at Clybourn until April
1999 when it became too small to accommodate
us.
Then came Rehoboth House.
In April 1999 by the special grace of God,
we were able to buy a place of our own. As a
ministry, we believe in growth and fruit
bearing and to this date, JHC has
established seven other churches namely:
-
All Nations Assembly LaGrange, headed
by Pastor Oliver Akano
