OUR STORY
Rooted in Faith, Growing in Purpose.
What began in 2004 as an intimate gathering in the living room of Minister Debra E. Morris and Brother Willie Morris has grown into a vibrant, spirit-led congregation. Following God’s call to open the doors of their home for worship, they welcomed their neighbors with faith, prayer, and warm fellowship.
As the gathering grew, God revealed the mission and name of our church: Church of the Living God, Inc. Over two decades, our journey has taken us from a home basement to meeting spaces across Westchester and Yonkers, expanding spiritually and numerically as we remain rooted in God’s Word and purpose.
