First Romanian Pentecostal Church was founded in May 1987 by four Romanian families in the Seattle area, establishing itself as the first Romanian congregation in the region. News of this new church quickly spread throughout the Romanian community across the United States.
By 1991, the congregation had grown to 120 members and purchased a 2-acre property at 8315 NE 155th Street, Kenmore, Washington, which included an old building. As membership and participation in church programs steadily increased, a significant renovation of the building was completed in 1993.
In 1997, the church expanded its property by acquiring a nearby 27,000-square-foot parcel of land, followed by the purchase of an adjacent property in 2001. In October 2003, construction began on office spaces, classrooms, fellowship halls, and an 8,500-square-foot addition to the existing church building, which was completed in May 2005, bringing the total area to 15,280 square feet.
In September 2009, the congregation celebrated the completion of a new sanctuary, adding another 7,000 square feet and increasing the total building area to 18,000 square feet. Today, the church is home to 569 members and 716 children and youth under the age of 18, continuing to grow and serve its community.
For all of this, we wholeheartedly give thanks and exalt God, our heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, our Savior, and the Holy Spirit, our Comforter, whose boundless blessings have profoundly enriched the Romanian community in this region.
