About Us
What We Are About
Who We Are
Here at First Haitian Church of God we are a family and a fellowship of believers striving to fulfill the will of God. Our passion for the lost souls and the underserved motivates each day in our efforts for the Kingdom of God.
Our History
Our Humble beginning began in 1985 with a group of believers who through the conviction of the holy spirit began church services in their homes. They were dedicated to the preaching and teaching of the Word of God and gathering souls for Christ. Over time they grew in number and even more in faith and fellowship. By 1986 this faithful group became affiliated with the mission of Mount Olives Church of God in New Jersey and in the same year purchased a building on the corner of Wilcrest and Boone Loop. By May of 1986 they were inaugurated as Mount Olives Church of God - the very first Haitian Church in Houston. On May 21, 1988, Pastor Bertrand Philippe was the first and only appointed Senior Pastor by the mission of Mount Olives, New Jersey. During this time, there were more than 100 members and the church established a Committee, and various ministries: Men’s, Women’s, Youth, and Children Ministries, and Evangelism. Through the Evangelism ministry many souls were won for the Kingdom of God.
For more than 35 years, our church has been led by a succession of remarkable individuals—great pastors with even greater visions. We have been truly blessed by the wise counsel and guidance of visionaries whose impact on our congregation transcends measure. These privileges have not only fostered significant growth and transformation within our community but have also extended our reach far beyond the physical confines of our building
