OUR HISTORY

Holy City Church Of God In Christ began in the summer of 1987 in the home of Bishop Jerry and Lady Gloria Taylor. With an initial impetus to establish a weekly Monday night prayer service, the ministry would soon begin to grow which subsequently led to the first Sunday morning service being held in their home on January 17, 1988. In addition to Pastor Taylor and his family, the congregation consisted of two other families, the Brewers and the Kelleys. Albeit the ministry’s growth was encouraging, at this time, the church did not have a name. Yet being a man who did not move without God’s direction, he faithfully led his congregation and together they persevered. It was not until July 1988, while meditating, fasting, and in fervent prayer, Bishop Taylor was inspired to name the ministry “Holy City” as found in Revelation 21:2.
