| The
New Testament Church of God was founded in 1964 by the late, Reverend
McIntyre. There were approximately ten founder members who met at 19
Cranbury Avenue,Newtown, Southampton.The meeting place then moved to Lyon
Street where a small hall was rented to hold services. The first minister
was Reverend GB Henry who has now emigrated to Jamaica. The church continued
to grow and it became necessary to change the venue.The church then started
to meet in another rented hall in Osbourne Road,
Portswood,Southampton.Finally,following assiduous efforts from the members
of the church,who became involved in house to house collections,street
trading,building rallies and other activities the building in Ivy Road was
purchased in1971.It is here that the Church remains today. |
