DENOMINATION/AFFILIATION: Assemblies of God

HISTORY: Windham Assembly of God began with a small group of people who desired to know the saving work of Christ and to experience being filled with the Holy Spirit. Born out of the Charismatic Movement, this group first met in homes, storefronts, and even the Windham Drive-In Theater.

The Rev. Adra Lovely, the founding pastor, and the members of this fellowship decided to join the Assemblies of God in 1977 and met weekly in the Masonic Hall in Windham. Land was soon purchased on Route 302 to build a church, and in May 1981, the new building was dedicated and weekly services began.

In September 1981, Windham Christian Academy opened in the building.

In June of 1984, the Rev. Daniel Abbatiello became lead pastor. In July 1987, the building was expanded to include more classrooms and a gymnasium, where church services were now held.
