The Higgin's-land New Testament Church was founded in 1939 with a small group of devoted believers seeking a place to worship and serve their community. Over the decades, the church steadily grew, guided by numerous dedicated pastors such as Pastor CT Johnson, Pastor Archer, Pastor Higgins, Pastor Withitter, Pastor Palmer, Pastor Ascott, Pastor Cunningham, Pastor Campbell, Pastor Grey, Pastor Noble, and Pastor Neil nurtured the congregation’s faith and expanded its outreach efforts over the decades. From humble beginnings, the church has flourished to over 100+ members, becoming a vital spiritual and community hub.
In 2019, Bishop Donald Dawson assumed leadership, bringing renewed vision and energy to the congregation. Under his guidance, the church has continued to thrive, emphasizing spiritual growth, community service, and fellowship. Today, Higgin's-land New Testament Church remains a beacon of faith, unity, and hope for its members and the broader community.
