NEW DAY COVENANT CHURCH
God placed a seed in the hearts of a handful of people who committed to pray for and plant that seed wherever God led them. They began to break bread together praying God would make it clear how they could honor him with this call. One evening, they walked around Rochester praying and dreaming about that seed. Not much later, someone from outside the group asked if they had considered the YMCA. “It’s been done before – having a church in a Y,” he said, “maybe God is calling you there?”
Something quickened in the hearts of the people as Pastor John began speaking with the Y staff. Not only did the staff agree that we should meet at the Y, but they were hoping for a collaborative partner. We would be a part of one another.The group of people met in the YMCA pool lobby to pray and hear from God. The voice he heard said, “Yes! This is where I’ve called you.”
That group of people has grown and now nearly 10 years later we continue to seek God’s purpose and will for us at the Y and in the greater Rochester community.
