SHIELD OF FAITH CHRISTIAN CENTER

In February of 1998, Pastor William and Sister LaDawnna Hudson, along with the help of their daughter Sister LaQucia McCormick, began Bethany Christian Center to respond to what the Pastor felt was the community’s need for a Holy Ghost filled church. That first year of ministry, God confirmed the ministry by saving souls weekly and establishing them well in the community. Many young people flocked to the ministry and a youth group was started to minister to their needs.

In 1999, God continued to bless and anoint. Many visitors and members were healed and delivered by the power and in the name of Jesus. God also took the worship to a higher level and His Spirit moved in the lives of His people like never before. In 2000, the Lord began to prepare Bethany for what has now come to pass. Additional services were added to the schedule and leaders were appointed to handle God's business. God began teaching His people the importance of hard work, both spiritually and physiclly. Many prophecies came forth that the Lord would establish Bethany as a spiritual powerhouse in the East Valley; strategically placed to save souls for the kingdom of light and to bring damage to the kingdom of darkness.

Through God's divine leading, in 2001, Pastor William Hudson changed the name of the church to Shield of Faith Christian Center to more closly align us with the Shield Fellowship. By our faith in God and the sacrifices of our leadership and saints, we stand before you a powerhouse set up by God, as Shield of Faith Christian Center of Arizona. We are excited about what God has done in years past and anxiously look forward to what He will do in the future. We know that with God all things are possible. We thank God for His wonderful works and faithfulness.

In Jesus Name,

Pastors William and LaDawnna Hudson
