Monument of Faith Church of God In Christ
(Brief History)
Elder James L. Ford, Pastor & Founder

In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety five, after prayerfully consulting the Lord in
which direction his Ministry should continue. God spoke to Pastor Ford in the words of “Remember
Abraham”, and gave Pastor Ford instructions to step out by faith and establish a church ministry.
He told Pastor Ford to Walk faithfully with Him and He would bless more than we can imagine.
The Lord also instructed Pastor Ford that the church would be supported with tithes and offerings.

On Saturday June 24, 1995, on the stairway of a storefront two story building located at 9324 Eastex
Frwy, Houston, TX 77039. (known as the upper room). The church was organized with eighteen
(18) chartered members. The first church service was held on July 9, 1995. The Lord truly blessed
and added to the church at that location.

As the Lord continued to bless the church, we were blessed to purchase property at 2108 Gault Road
(present location) in October 1998, which was at that time a five (5) bedroom house setting on two
and one half (2 ½) acres of land. After renovation and beatifying this is the result of a beautiful
edifice. We moved in October 1999, and purchased our furniture December 1999.

We truly thank God for all He has done, because this is the Lord’s doing and it’s marvelous in our
eyes. To God be the glory for the things he has done.
