Our History

In 1982, while a student at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Dave Mullen received an invitation from Church of the Living God in Farmington, CT to join their staff as an assistant pastor. He was given the mission of planting and pastoring a new church in Manchester. Beginning with a small group from the Farmington church, services were launched in rented space in a Manchester elementary school in March 1983. Now, over thirty years later, Church of the Living God is a vibrant and thriving church with a heart to impact the Hartford area and the world.
From the very beginning, Pastor Dave’s desire has been for CLG to be both faithful to God’s Word and open to the Holy Spirit’s moving as He pleases. We have come to experience and enjoy a wonderful sense of God’s living presence, an ever-deepening revelation of His love for us, and a growing intimacy, joy, and vibrancy in worship. Join us as we write the next chapter in God’s plan for our lives!
