About Our Church

Gospel Assembly
Church History

To say that God has brought this church a long way would be a profound understatement. Through the unwavering dedication of our beloved founding mother, Sister Christa Raphael, who has since gone to be with the Lord, God transformed a simple prayer meeting in a living room into a thriving community of faith. He breathed life into us, established us as a refuge for those seeking Him, and united us as part of His Body. By His grace, He has washed us, saved us, and brought us together to glorify His name.
 

When Brother Noisin Raphael left Haiti to join his wife in Maryland, he anticipated a short stay. With no Body of Christ church in the area, he saw little reason to remain. However, Sister Raphael held a different vision...

Statement of Faith

  • We believe in the eternal, invisible God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

​

  • We believe the bible (KJV) is the authenticated word of God.

​

  • We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ and that there is no salvation in any other name.

​

  • We believe in Christ's sinless life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension.

​

  • We believe that the only way to be cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

​

  • We believe in a born-again experience from the Old Life in Adam to the New Life in Jesus Christ.

​

  • We believe in the Baptism of water by immersion, which is essential to all believers and must be administered by an ordained church authority.​

Spiritual
Community

Laurel Gospel Assembly Church is a non-denominational, scripture-based community of believers with a singular aim and purpose: to love as God loves; Charity. Charity takes on a unique character – the image of Christ. So consequently, we heavily emphasize discipleship in every area of our church and secular life. Beginning with the study of the word of God, private and corporate prayer life, worship, and home life are all pursued with that singular aim in mind.

 

We invite all to join us in walking in our Lord Jesus Christ’s footsteps.
