History
In the summer of
1996, Dennis and Jan Hill began praying with others in their living room every
Saturday evening. By the fall of 1996, Saturday prayer grew to a Wednesday
night Bible study. So many people began to attend that Coach Hill prayed and
was led by God to rent a building, and The Remnant Church was birthed.
Coach Hill was
ordained as Pastor Dennis Hill in 1997. That same year, The Remnant Church was
opened in the Riverside Shopping Center west of downtown La Grange. Two years
later, in 1999, Pastor Hill and the church bought 5 acres of land on Cedar Creek
Drive as well as the children’s church building, which was already on the
property. The year 2002 brought progress and promise for the new Remnant Church
land which included the purchase of an additional brand-new children’s church
building, allowing the children’s ministry to grow. In late 2002, ground was
broken for the new Remnant sanctuary.
In The Remnant’s seventh year, the church’s main sanctuary was completed on June
15, 2003. The open-air pavilion, located behind the sanctuary was completed in
2006, and the church offices were added to the front of the sanctuary in 2007.
A brand new children's education
center was completed by the end of 2009.
The vision of The Remnant Church is to be a truth center in Fayette County
because of John 8:31-32, “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
