THE HISTORY

The history of Hope Aglow Empowerment Center tells of a people dedicated to ministering to the community and reaching the lost for Christ.  Pastor Levonzia and Lady Saverna listened to God's calling to provide an environment for people to study and worship God without fear.  From our inception to our current position in the Kingdom, Hope Aglow has kept true to its calling.

Hope Aglow is a multicultural, non-denominational, Spirit-filled church; when you step through the doors, you'll sense the Love of God.  There is a strong anointing on the ministry, and because of this, many lives have been changed.

Pastor Levonzia Stevens, Sr. and his wife, Saverna of 32 years started the ministry in 1996 at their kitchen table.  The ministry was birthed out of an unquenchable desire to teach, train, and develop God's people in the uncompromising truth of His Word.

The name of the church changed from Hope Aglow Christian Center to Hope Aglow Empowerment Center in May 2004.  The church has grown tremendously since our name change and as we move forward, God will continue to add souls daily.

The vision of the church is wide and deep, yet narrow enough to focus and commit ourselves that we may accomplish the assigned work.  As we move forward as a finely tuned, spirit-led church, we will accomplish the vision.

Our goal is to build a unified kingdom of God and reach people of every socioeconomic class.  We are driven to bring the full knowledge of Jesus Christ to the people in order that they may become obedient disciples.
