We are about 90% Asian Indian immigrant families, with about half of those born in India and the other half born in the USA. About 10% are local congregants of various backgrounds. The formal full name of our church is the "Bread of Life Full Gospel Church," which is a Full Gospel fellowship (i.e., an assembly of believers in the Trinitarian Pentecostal tradition) that believes Jesus Christ is the Savior from sin, the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit, the divine Healer, and the returning King.
