How it all started...
Sunday, September 2nd, 1984, to a congregation of 300 Apostle I.V. Hilliard founded New Light Church World Outreach and Worship Centers in the great city of Houston, TX. Following the bold declaration, the congregation dropped to 23. Unwavering in his faith, Apostle Hilliard led New Light Church to be one of the largest, most impactful and cutting-edge churches in the world.
Apostle and Pastor Bridget, continued in faith, growing the Light into a megachurch with multiple campuses across the state of Texas. They are sought out faith teachers, dedicated to sharing the Word of God wherever they go. After 33 years of pastoring, Apostle knew it was time to pass the baton.
