| History of Pine Hills Community Church After much prayer and seeking the Lord, our Founder, the late Rev. Earl Nobles, was persuaded that it was God's will to establish a body of believers in the Pine Hills area of Orlando. The Lord opened the doors of Oak Hill Elementary School, February 17, 1985. Nine believers responded when the Invitation was extended establishing the initial membership of Pine Hills Community Church. Our final service at Oak Hill was held on Easter Sunday, April 7, 1985, with services resuming at the West Orlando Rotary Club. In December, 1986, negotiations were begun to purchase the property located at 1331 N. Pine Hills Road and on February 2, 1987, thanks to God and to our many brothers and sisters in Christ, the papers were signed and the Pine Hills Community Church had a home of its own! In the 18 years since we held our first service, God has blessed us to grow spiritually and our congregation grew to where major expansion plans were being considered-even to building a whole new Church! After months of negotiations, on October 29, 1998 papers were signed that finalized the purchase of our new home. As we look back over the whole negotiation process, we can see the hand of God from start to finish. Throughout the negotiations, God manifested Himself at critical times to turn what could have been stumbling blocks into stepping-stones. On October 28, 2001 we opened & dedicated the “Earl Nobles Family Service Center” in honor of the late Pastor, Rev. Earl Nobles. In all of this we say, "To God be the glory” for the things He has done. |
