History

Pastor Carter was shepherding Second Baptist Church in New London, Ohio when God spoke to him that his work was finished there after 5 years of labor in 2004. After wrestling with this decision Pastor Carter was obedient in passing the baton.

After much prayer God directed him to assist another Pastor (Dr. Walter Jordan II – Greater St. John COGIC) until he receives his next marching orders.

Pastor Carter worked faithfully in the leadership of that ministry until God spoke to him in the winter of 2005. God spoke to Pastor Carter as he was sitting in service, “I want you to plant my church.”

Pastor Carter immediately called his mother (Prayer Warrior) Brenda Carter to go on a 40 day prayer and fast, to make sure the call was clear. After coming out of these 40 days of being in the presence of God, Pastor Carter was clear that he was supposed to plant the church. It was to be named Spirit and Truth Christian Center (nondenominational) with an emphasis on Luke 10:33-34.

With earthly wisdom from his Pastor, William Morris Jr. of the Shiloh Full Gospel Baptist Church, Pastor Carter then proceeded to start organizing and strategizing.

Youth for Christ executive director Dan McLaughlin was contacted to allow Pastor Carter to start Bible Study with a few families at a Church Building YFC had in February of 2006 and it was granted. The membership began to grow and a worship service was implemented in June of 2006.

Overseer Renae Collins and the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship were called in to install Elder Tommie D. Carter as the Pastor/Founder in October of 2006. The FGBCF served as a covering for the ministry until God showed Pastor Carter what direction he would send the ministry.

God then gave Pastor Carter revelation that the church building that they were in was not a temporary place, but was the place where God was going operate from known as STCC. Pastor and the congregation began to pray and fast for building and then God gave Pastor Carter revelation for the congregation to walk around the building for six weeks and on the seventh week make a loud shout to claim the building.

Youth for Christ in changing leadership sold the property to STCC through there real estate broker in December of 2006. Membership began to grow, souls were saved, rededication and regeneration happened for many.
