Officially presenting the project Rev M. Buya-Kamara, Head of the First Assembly of God said that the First Assembly of God was the first indigenous church in the Assemblies of God and was built around 1946 to 1948.

It was after the First Assembly of God other churches such as Bethel Temple, Evangel, Kroo Assembly, and Faith Assembly among others emerged.

He went on to say 10 years ago, God gave them the vision to step out and they didn’t take that mandate lightly as those days they were three in number (himself, his assistant Pastor, Rev. Luck, and Rev Francis Sesay).
