About Us:
On July 28th 1967 members of the West Sayville and Sayville communities formed Gospel Community Church, an interdenominational Christian fellowship. They had started in house meetings under the leadership of Rev. Alfred Isaken. Late in 1967 the old site of the Christian Reformed Church of West Sayville which dated back to 1878 was purchased. Gospel Community Church purchased a 106 Christian Retreat Center in 1977 providing a place where many church groups could take time away from their busy schedules to meet and fellowship with God. This center named Shiloh Retreat Center is located in New Baltimore, NY. Shiloh has grown enormously and has been used to minister to many hurting people located throughout the Long Island and Upstate NY.
In April 2007, Gospel Community Church had outgrown its facility in West Sayville. Consequently the West Sayville site was sold to a Christian fellowship moving from Jamaica, Queens, The House of Judah. A new 5.1 acre, 34,000 sq. ft. site located in Sayville was purchased and is its present campus. With the retirement of Rev. Isaken in 1989, the church is currently pastored by Rev. Edward M. Rizzo.
