Our history
Built on God's faithfulness
Our church is not just a building, it is a movement of people following Jesus together. From humble beginnings to life-changing growth, every part of our story is built on God's faithfulness.
- 1968Fourteen adults, one youth, and four ministers met at the Orange Garden Community Building in Kissimmee, Florida. That meeting led to the formation of First Church of God.
- 1998Rev. Whitfield D. Blenman became pastor and led the church into growth, culminating in the opening of our current sanctuary in 2006.
- 2019Bishop Blenman retired, and Rev. Dr. Matthew and Lady Rhesa Quainoo became lead pastors. Under their leadership, the church doubled in attendance and saw major spiritual and financial growth.
- 2024Dr. Matt and Lady Rhesa were called to lead in Maryland. Their brother and sister-in-love, Rev. Tim and Lady Jill Quainoo, now lead Solid Rock into its next chapter.
