HISTORY OF GOD’S GOODNESS

1914

In 1914 a small group of believers started a prayer meeting in a home on Maple Avenue in White Plains, New York. In 1934 this group of believers joined the Assemblies of God Fellowship, whose headquarters is in Springfield, Missouri.

1958

In 1958, the congregation continued to grow in number and purchased 2.45 acres of property on 294 Old Mamaroneck Road in White Plains. At that time, for the growing congregation to undertake the purchase of the property and begin construction of a church was a tremendous step of faith.

1961

In October 1961, it was by the miraculous hand of God that a worship facility was completed for God’s glory. The sanctuary seated 165 with a lower level of four classrooms, a kitchen, and a fellowship hall. By continued favor and blessings from God, the congregation continued to grow and it became evident that an expansion of our facility was needed.

2001

In January 2001, the construction of our enlarged facility began. In 2002, despite many challenges, our new facility was completed and is comprised of a 700-seat sanctuary, a two-story education wing, and office complex.

2017

In June 2017, Pastor Jason Murphy became the Lead Pastor of Reach Church. His leadership has brought renewed vision and a commitment to seeing lives transformed by the Gospel.
