OUR HISTORY

With a word from the Lord and a dream in his heart, Pastor Maurice Johnson founded Liberty Christian Center (now known as Winners Church) on September 10, 1995. Although he started out in the small living room of his basement apartment with zero members, Pastor Maurice preached faithfully to the "chairs". Within a few weeks, people started to come and the church began to grow.

By the next year, it was time to move. So, in 1996 Pastor Maurice took a leap of faith, and moved Liberty Christian Center from his basement apartment to a storefront in the same vicinity. Despite the challenges that came along the way, the church stood on a firm foundation and continued to grow.

As more and more people came, it quickly became apparent that another move was needed. So, once more, the church moved, this time outside of Hollis, Queens and into a location in Laurelton, Queens. The church continued to develop here and after much reflective thought, Pastor Maurice decided to rename the church "Winners Church". Today, Winners Church is a growing ministry whose mission is "to set at liberty those who are captive through the teaching of God's Word and the demonstration of His Sprit."

On Easter of 2008 Winners Church moved to it's current location: P.S. 38 135-21 241st Street in Rosedale (Queens) New York.
