In 1947 a group of believers, who were meeting in a tent, became organized into an Assemblies of God church. This small congregation purchased property and constructed a church at 1943 Fowler Street.

In 1969, the church purchased five acres at 1550 Colonial Blvd. and built a beautiful new facility. The first service was held there on Easter Sunday 1972.

A few years later, twenty-plus additional acres were added, and the gymnasium was built and became a temporary sanctuary until the current sanctuary was completed in the fall of 1982.

God has abundantly blessed First Assembly Ministries, and we now average 5,000 every Sunday morning, including our satellite campuses. Our goal is to average 10,000 by the year 2010 and to expand our satellites to ten locations in Southwest Florida.
