Our History
This great church is located on Prince Charles Drive East of Fox Hill Road. It began thirty (32) years ago on November 7th, 1990, led by Apostle Dr. R. Eugene Clare Sr. and his wife Apostle Dr. Rosetta V. Clare.
This church’s Leadership consist of three Pastors namely Julian G. Glover, Myrtle Rolle and Patrick P. Wright. It also has two Deacons namely Euterpie L. Rigby and Valerie E. P. W. Newbold.
On November 29th, 2009, this great church became affiliated with Bahamas Faith Ministries which extended our relationship to other ministries around the world.
There are Ministries within the church overseen by the Apostles and Pastors such as: The Dance Ministry, Praise and Worship Ministry and Director of the Women Of Destiny Ministry are overseen by Apostle Rosetta V. Clare. Men’s Ministry, Evangelism Ministry, and very important matters of the church are overseen by Pastor Julian G. Glover. Intercession Ministry, the Usher Ministry and church social events are overseen by Pastor Myrtle Rolle. The Technical Department, Transportation Department and very important matters of the church are overseen by Pastor Patrick P. Wright. All of this and more are overseen by Apostle R. Eugene Clare Sr. including the construction of the church. He is also the Host of the Radio Program Rhema, heard every Saturday morning at 11:00a.m. on 107.9FM or TV channels 420 and 230. Because of the Radio Program Apostle Eugene Clare is sought after as a speaker on Family Matters with married couples and church events.
Prior to the Pandemic, Apostle Rosetta Clare expanded her Ministry throughout the United States, and The Philippines. However, During the Pandemic, her Ministry was expanded through the use of ZOOM. She has spoken around the Bahamas, Jamaica, California and other place.
The churches in the Bahamas were asked to close their doors in March of 2020. Rhema missed two weeks of services but because of ZOOM made it possible for us to have service to ourselves and the public. Zoom, YouTube and Facebook have connected us to the world. In attendance there were persons from New York, Canada, California, Africa, Freeport, Grand Bahama, Abaco, Jamaica, Trinidad and London, England. We had a very successful Annual Women of Destiny Conference in September 2020 and again we are anticipating another time of coming together for this year’s conference.
We had the opportunity of honoring our Apostles using Zoom, celebrating this yearly event.
The pastors and members of Rhema have been known for their steadfast faith in believing, declaring and receiving the favors and promises of The Almighty God who has started and will enable us to complete this global work for His glory.
The Lord has been gracious to us and we are committed to the fulfillment of the command given in Matthew 3:3…” Prepare Ye The Way of The Lord, Make His Path Straight”.
