The Journey...
How it all started...
Ruth Chapter One will tell you about “Bethlehem-Judah”. The text records that after the famine, Naomi returned back to Bethlehem-Judah because “God had visited His people in giving them bread” (verse 6).
The journey of the Bethlehem-Judah Christian Fellowship Family has been a walk of faith and a call in the spirit of our leader, Pastor/Bishop Anthony W. Gilyard. It was a beautiful day, Sunday, November 17, 2002 that the seed was birthed. Pastor, along with 11 others, had their first official service as a church at the Kenilworth Inn, Kenilworth, NJ; faithful, steadfast, and determined to build a “Nation” unto the Lord.
