Fellowship

The Vision of The Worship Center is threefold:
1. To be a Biblical Church, 2. To be a Christ-centered Church, 3. To be an Outgoing Church.
A Brief History of The Worship Center…
The Worship Center was founded in 1986 by Rev. Mark A. Santostefano and a group of about 25 people who desired to start a Christian church that would be centered on worship, biblical teaching and relevant outreach to the community.
We first began meeting in the basement of a Medical Building in Marlborough. Within two years the church outgrew that facility and was invited to hold it’s services at Patti Dunne’s School of Gymnastics in Hebron, CT. The added space allowed for an increase in attendance to an average of 200 worshippers each Sunday, which was the capacity of that facility.
During 1997, a church member, Mary Florence Boucher, donated 11 acres of land on Marjorie Circle in order for The Worship Center to build a permanent church home. Florence and her husband had always dreamed of a church being built on the property.
In 1999, we began holding Sunday service in the auditorium at the old RHAM High School, which was eventually torn down in 2004. At this time, we began meeting for Sunday service at the new RHAM High School in the food court.
After hearing from God, Josh Phillips volunteered to initiate the first phase of construction on the road leading up our future church home. The driveway site work began in May of 2004. The retaining wall, which runs along side the driveway, was completed in October of 2005 by church members. In May 2006, the driveway was completed and paved. We are now invested in our second building campaign, raising funds to build the sanctuary at the top of the hill located at 99 Marjorie Circle, Hebron.

We are currently meeting for Sunday service at 10 a.m. in the Food Court of the new R.H.A.M. High School, where the attendance is around 250. We are convinced that we will continue to fill the space where we worship and would need to go to a second service within a year of moving into our new facility.
