Local church celebrates its 50th anniversary. Future plans are to establish another church

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Higher Ground Church of God of Prophecy has been operating in Rochester for half of a century. Across those 50 years, the church has had four different addresses, seen its membership grow to over 150 parishioners, established regular charitable events, and gotten through the Covid-19 pandemic. Their future plans are to go into the community to preach, and to establish a church in another area of Rochester.

The theme of the anniversary celebration was “we have come this far by faith.”
