Church History

HCC was started in September 1991 by15 people with a desire to help non-churched, pre-Christians experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ and to live in a biblically functioning community. The founders' goal was to share Christ's love in a practical and tangible way to people in their own community who were far from God.

The LORD blessed their efforts — the initial core outgrew the home basement setting. Subsequent moves to a theater, upstairs dance studio, and a former commercial dry cleaning facility were excellent rental homes for nine years.

In 1999, God provided a wonderful opportunity with a downtown commercial building that the church bought and remodeled. This location at 619 Vermont St. currently houses the 150-plus congregation and a myriad of ministries serving the community.
