The History of Glorious Light
GLORIOUS LIGHT CHURCH
In 2004, God directed the formation of the Bronzeville Bible Study, with the sole purpose of interjecting Christian faith in a community that has began to experience residential and economic growth. The growth of these believers would be incomplete without Jesus Christ being the central focus. Therefore, in 2006 the concept and formation of the Glorious Light Church began.
The Glorious Light church is centered in the love of Christ to encourage those who need to experience hope in the midst of an impoverished world. The Glorious Light Church provides a family atmosphere with a focus on faith, love, discipleship, and prayer.
The Glorious Light Church has its roots in the infallibility of the Holy Scriptures. We believe that in seeking the truth of scripture produces our faith, and allows us to love each other and share the good news of Christ.
Bronzeville is a changing area in the center of Chicago. Within this community is a cross-section ranging from those with no means of income to great wealth. The cross-section of people living there in spite of their financial situations below the poverty line or upwardly mobile are all poor in spirit and in need of a Savior who can change their lives forever.
The Glorious Light Church has adopted a multi-faceted church strategy. One dimension of this strategy is make disciples of Jesus; strengthen those believers through study of the Word and Prayer, Teach the believers to evangelize the lost, and develop leaders to continue in the work of the ministry so that the teaching leaders can devote their lives to the study of the Word and prayer.
