Pastor Kenn and Grace Bongiorno
Pastor Kenn's vision to minister in a multi-cultural city set on the Atlantic Ocean came true May 21st 2000 when the congregation unanimously elected Kenn as their new Senior Pastor.
Kenn was born and raised in Erie Pa. At the age of twenty Christ came into his heart and called him into full time ministry. He has studied at several different schools and presently is working on his Doctorate of Ministry at The Assemblies of God Theological Seminary.
Grace was born in Holland and at the age of nine her family moved to Switzerland to pastor a growing congregation near Zurich. She graduated as a licensed nurse and before starting a fulltime job decided to work as an aupar (Nanny) in America. During her first month in America, Grace visited First Assembly of God Church in Lynn Ma. It was there that she met Kenn. One year later the two of them were married. Grace is working on counseling degree at UMass Dartmouth, enjoys playing volley ball on the church team and serves as one of the children’s worship leaders for children’ church.
They live in New Bedford raising their three children. They love their church family, the city life, and the many opportunities to reach their city with the Love of Jesus Christ...
