Our History

 

How does the church history happen? It happens through the hand of God. He plants a vision in one man. That man inspires a congregation through God's word to yearn to see His face. And that congregation fulfills the Great Commission of Jesus, spreading His message to the world. What happens next? It's all up to Him.

On Pastor Sanders' and Lady Sanders' 19th year wedding anniversary, February 14, 2010, five individuals were invited to their home in Texas City to discuss the probability and practicality of forming a church. During this meeting, individual hearts united in faith to follow the vision of Pastor Sanders. The church began with the formation of New Directions Missionary Baptist Church.

In June 2010, the Church moved to 4601 Hwy 517 in Dickinson, Texas. The first worship service was held at 3:00 p.m. on June 13, 2010 so that family and friends could attend. Pastor Sanders’ first sermon was titled, "Will the Church Stand Up", II Chronicles 7:14. Over 120 people were present to witness this monumental celebration. During the first service, 18 people joined the church. Two for baptism and 16 by Christian experience. We are currently located at 2512 Termini St., Suite B, Dickinson, Texas. Hurricane Harvey destroyed our church in August 2017 but through God’s plan and intervention we were able to renovate the building 3 months later.
