The seeds of Faith Community Church International date back to March of 1990 when the church, (formerly called The Marketplace Teaching, Healing and Training Center) first opened it's doors to the Body of Christ. With healing services held twice a month conducted by founding Pastor Rev. Ellen Comis, The Marketplace continued to grow and before long began Sunday church services on a weekly basis.

Prior to her ministry at The Marketplace, Rev. Ellen Comis ministered to the Body of Christ for over 10 years as an evangelist and teacher conducting healing crusades and teaching seminars together with her son Gary and his wife Doreen throughout the New York, New Jersey areas.

Throughout the years, God opened many doors for Rev. Ellen to reach thousands of people with the message of faith and hope and as a result many have testified to having received healing - physically, emotionally and spiritually through her ministry. Rev. Ellen continues her ministry today as President and Director of Ellen Comis Ministries and The Marketplace Divine Healing Center.
