God’s Faithfulness:  Our Timeline

Celebrating L'Estère Christian Church’s 50th Anniversary 

Our Timeline: 50 Years of God’s Faithfulness

In December 1976, a small church opened its doors in L’Estère, Haiti.

Through seasons of joy and hardship, one thing has never changed:

God has been faithful.

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.”

Psalm 126:3

God places a vision in Pastor Frederick Etienne's heart to establish a church rooted in New Testament Christianity.

L'Estere Christian Church is established as Haiti's first non-denominational church.

The first church building is dedicated through the partnership of churches in the United States.

The church grows to approximately 250 members and becomes the "mother church," planting twelve daughter churches throughout Haiti.

Brenus Etienne completes his biblical studies and returns to Haiti to serve alongside his father as Associate Pastor.

Brenus Etienne becomes Missionary Pastor, continuing the church's mission of evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, and community outreach.

Double Vision Christian Ministries

  • becomes an independent nonprofit organization with its own Board of Directors,

  • strengthens its partnership with L'Estere Christian Church and

  • expands support for ministry in Haiti.

The church remains faithful through Haiti's gang violence, continuing

  • worship services,

  • children's ministry,

  • leadership development, and

  • baptisms despite ongoing challenges.

L'Estere Christian Church celebrates 50 Years of God's Faithfulness, honoring its rich history while looking forward to the next generation of ministry.

Our Story Continues.

Fifty years is a milestone worth celebrating.
