History of Spring of Water Christian Assembly
Spring of Water Christian Assembly is a church that was grown out of a vision. The vision was given by God to our Pastor and Founder, Rev. Ronald Stephenson,
on Sunday, June 10th, 2001, at a time when he was prayerfully seeking the Lord, concerning the Call that God had on his life for ministry. In a solitary place
after much prayer and fasting and with deep meditation, God revealed His vision to pastor Ron, by taking him to Isaiah chapter 58. It was from Isaiah 58 VS 11,
that God also revealed the name for the new church, that God called Pastor Ron to go and plant in the Town of Randolph, MA. In obedience, Pastor Ron and his
wife Sis. Sonia Stephenson, responded to the call and the vision from God, by immediately gathering a handful of people to pray with him, and to assist him
with the planting of the new church.
On Sunday November4, 2001 with a small group of well wisher’s, family and friends, Spring of Water Christian Assembly was started at the Holiday Inn Hotel,
1374 North Main Street, Randolph MA 02368. Despite the inconvenience of lugging equipment in and out of the Hotel each week and being bounced around from room to
room, the church grew at a steady pace. In addition to gaining new members, the church became a worship center for many of the Hotel’s guests and employees.
During this time the church developed its identity as a strong bible based church, where people loved God and each other.
The plan was to remain in the hotel for two years, during which time we would raise some funds towards leasing or renting a building. God however had other
plans for us and so in 15 months we found a more permanent space in a building at 90 Pleasant Street in Randolph, where we are currently located. The move to 90
Pleasant Street, Randolph, MA, took place on April 6, 2003, with a motorcade from the Holiday Inn to the new building. This was symbolic of the Children of Israel
marching towards the promise land. Our new location which was made ready, by several members of our church, was on the second floor of the building. Not only was
the space warm, but it was inviting. Sunday after Sunday we felt the power of God move strongly in our midst, as souls were saved, people were healed, and
backsliders came back to God. The expansion of our ministry continued as new ministries were added. The next three years saw a gradual increase in membership
and in preparation for the growth that was taking place additional space was sought in the building for a new sanctuary. Space was found on the first floor of
the building, which we renovated for our new sanctuary. With the capacity to seat 150 people we dedicated the new sanctuary to the Lord, on April 22, 2007.
By the grace of God we pray that our next move will be into our own building. We know that with God’s help and the support of you our members and friends our
vision can be accomplished.

The Vision
The vision of Spring of Water Christian Assembly is directed by Isaiah chapter 58. In this vision we are called by God to develop a strong bible based
church that will cry aloud against sin, call people to repentance and usher people into the kingdom of God. We envision to “rebuild the old waste places,
while building up a foundation for many generations with Christ as the center. We will do this by providing Christian ministries to families and individuals
in our surrounding communities, with an emphasis on restoring broken lives, broken families, and broken dreams.

God’s Promise to us
“Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily; and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the
Lord shall be thy re-reward. Then shalt thou call and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry and He shall say, here I am. If thou take away from the midst
of thee the yoke, the pointing of the finger, and speaking vanity; And if thou draw thyself to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul; than shall thy light
rise in obscurity and thy soul (thy needs) in drought and make fat (strong) thy bones: And thou shalt be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose
waters fail not.”
Isaiah 58:11
