In the summer of 2011, God burdened Rick Dobrowolski, an assistant pastor at the time at Slate Belt-Nazareth Baptist Church, to plant a church committed to following Christ together through relational living and the proclamation of God’s Truth in the communities of East-Side Allentown and West-End Bethlehem. God also burdened other families to be involved in the mission, leading to the founding of Allentown Bible Church with seven families forming the core of the new church.
In October, 2011, these families started meeting together to pray and plan for the future. During that time, God blessed us with partners in ministry to serve as advisors and helpers in the great cause God has called us to. On November 6, we held our first house service in East-Side Allentown.
Since that time, God has provided a place to meet at the East Side Youth Center and we held our first public service there on January 22, 2012.
We look forward to the future as God calls out His People in this area to form the body of Christ that has a Spirit-empowered impact on the community for God’s glory.
