Gospel Light Community Church had it's first official service on June 6, 1982. The vision and burden for planting a church in Bridgeport, CT was quickened by the Spirit of God in the hearts of Bro. David Shenk. Then with Home Ministries Director of Eastern Mennonite Missions and Pastor Glenn and Linda Reynolds of the Mennonite Bible Fellowship Church in New Haven. At the same time, Pastor James Miller who was serving the Lord as an Assistant Pastor at Joy Fellowship Church in the Bronx, New York felt the Spirit leading them to pastor a new work. Through God’s direct leading, the three were brought together with the call to go to Bridgeport. With a definite sense of the Spirit’s leading, Pastor James and Andrea Miller moved to Bridgeport three months later with their two sons Joshua (18 months) and Joel (two months). They moved to a city, not knowing anyone, yet trusting God to bring forth the vision that He had put in their hearts. Their vision was to see God raise up a church made up of many different ethnic and racial groups that would minister life, hope, and healing to the city. Within two weeks, a small group Bible study started in the living room of the Miller’s apartment. The new church had its first official Sunday Celebration two months later. The next month, the Lord supernaturally provided a meeting place at the Red Cross building, then located at 2400 Main Street. During this time, the Lord sent helpers, including Pastor Miller’s parents and raised up some members who are still a part of the church today.      more »
