A Brief History

The Church in Hamilton is a new branch from the Church in Franklin, starting from August 2008. Since the 1990s, small number of saints lived in Lawrence and nearby towns. Gospel began to spread in this area from 1997 to 2001, and the number of saints increased significantly. Saints pursued the Word of God, loved one another, opened homes, and every one functioned. In the following years, more home meetings were raised up, and many saints were perfected to serve. In 2006, the Hamilton (Lawrence) district were propagated to have separate Lord's Table in the Franklin meeting hall after thorough fellowship. Starting from March 11th, 2007, the district meeting moved to a rented facility at Quakerbridge Learning Center in Lawrence. After one and half years there, the facility cannot accommodate the increased needs, and the meeting moved to Lawrence Middle School. By August 7th, 2008, the Church in Hamilton was incorporated. In June 2010, the Church in Hamilton purchased the current meeting hall located in 92 Youngs Road, Hamilton.  In April, 2012, the Church secured the variance. From the purchase and public hearing, the Church in Hamilton experienced the Grace of God. The remodeling of the meeting hall also brought in the support of the Body of Christ, the prayers, and the offerings of the saints. At the beginning of 2013, the Church had a ground breaking prayer meeting with the support of the churches in New Jersey. Saints continued the 120 days watchful prayer for the project, and by September 19, 2013, the Church in Hamilton obtained the Certificate of Occupancy. Currently, the Church in Hamilton has about 120 saints in Lord's Day meeting, along with about 40 children.
