Church of Truth
Meet COT — Church of Truth, est. 1993
est. 1993
Our very first service was held on September 19, 1993. What started as a small, predominately Russian-speaking congregation has grown into a multi-service, multi-nationality, and multi-generational community.
Since the first days of our existence, we have seen many broken and hurting people receive breakthrough and healing in Jesus. We consider it our greatest privilege to introduce people to Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.
Today we hold three Sunday services — including a Russian-speaking service at 9:00 AM and a youth/young adults service in the evening. Thanks to multimedia, God has widened our influence, and we are impacting English-speaking and Russian-speaking communities all over the world.
Thirty years in, we like to say this is just the beginning. We're here to love God and love people. We're here for good.
Our foundational verse
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”
Luke 4:18–19
