Our Background
Christ the Healer Church is a vibrant, Bible-believing church under the covering of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship. The church held its 1st service on June 7th, 1998, where seven founding members untied with the vision of Bishop Calvin and Pastor Lynnita Lockett. Since that time, the church has grown to over 500 active members with an ever- increasing virtual community. The culture of our church can be summed up in our mission statement: “Christ the Healer Church is a body of baptized believers whose primary purpose is to Exalt the Savior through Worship, Equip the Believer with the Word, Edify one another through Fellowship, and Evangelize the Loss through Witnessing. Our church aspires to be persistent in prayer, diligent in discipleship, and purposeful in our praise.”
April 1998
While serving our nation as an active-duty soldier in the United States Army, The Holy Spirit spoke the words, “it’s time” to Bishop Lockett in a dream as he was preparing to deploy to Egypt. Two days later, Bishop Lockett’s orders were deleted.
June 1998
Christ the Healer Church held its first service at the Holiday Inn Express (formerly the Baymont Hotel) in Oak Grove, Kentucky, on June 7th, 1998. Approximately forty people were in attendance at our church’s inaugural service.
During that worship experience, five others united with the vision of Bishop and Pastor Lockett—Pastor Shamond Scales (only eight years old at the time), the late Elder E. Rochelle Moody, Elder Stephen Lewis Vinson, Sister Marsha Burney, and Dr. Kimberly McFadden Walker.
December 2000
After being asked to leave The Baymont Hotel (for no reason), Christ the Healer Church held its first service at 1295 Paradise Hills Road in an unfinished warehouse.
Spring 2005
The church was redesigned into a state-of-the art worship facility. The renovation included new sanctuary chairs, a pulpit and pulpit furniture, a designated choir stand, flooring, restrooms, sound and video equipment, a vestibule area, and a paved parking lot.
June 2015
The church completed a $900,000 expansion which included an administrative suite, Christian education wing, Kidzone (to include a nursery area), sanctuary expansion, a media upgrade, additional restrooms, and additional parking.
Our Growth
God has continued to prosper Christ the Healer Church. In seventeen years, the church has grown from 7 members to over 600. In 2015, the church completed a $900,000 expansion which included an administrative suite, Christian education wing, Kidzone (to include nursery area), sanctuary expansion, and additional parking. Souls are being saved, lives are being changed, and God’s kingdom is being advanced though the Christ the Healer Church family.
Our Growth
God has continued to prosper the Christ The Healer Church. In 11 years, the church has grown from 7 members to over 500. Because of the continued growth, there are plans in the making to purchase additional land and property to further expand the vision. In 2005, the church was redesigned into a state of the art worship facility. In 2011, the church began renovation on the sanctuary to carry the Gospel to the world. God’s hand has been on this ministry from the beginning and through Him the vision will continue to come to pass in the future.
We are excited about the progress of our new church building, follow us!
