Church on the Block
This program was birthed out of Minister Gregg's obedience to God's call in building a church for God's glory in the heart of Watts and Compton by a man who was raised in the Appalachia mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Even those who feel unable...can do great things for God's Kingdom when they obey the commands of our eternal God and Father.

About Minister Gregg Bynum
When I received the call, from Jesus to quit my great job in Northern California, to go serve in the Communities of Watts and Compton in the heart of struggling low-income and gang violence, my initial response was to get behind me Devil. Having realized that it was a true calling from the Lord, I quit my job, moved out of my new 3-year-old house, packed a U-Haul and emotionally confused, left everything I loved to a new life in the hood... not understanding why God would call ME, being raised a country boy from a poor Christian family in the rural Appalachia mountains of Pennsylvania and West Virginia to one of the toughest inner- cities in the world. Watts/ Compton.
After my tearful arrival the previous day, I felt the extreme Joy of the Lord. God began to teach and show me about how my new congregation, Church on the Block, is what every church is called to be. How to follow Jesus' example to really please the Father by not trying to work our way into heaven, but to please the Father by Loving our way to please HIM.
From the eye-opening fact that many things the Church does today are not even mentioned in the bible, but are many times just man-made customs, to the fact that the Bible does not declare that Satan is in charge of Hell, and that the Church often skips over the really important preparation for the next life of eternity, really not prepared for the next permanent life, that is soon to come.
Now, I serve the Lord with gladness and humility knowing His Word is making an impact on the lives of so many, through my faithfulness in teaching His Word.
