Mount Airy Church of God in Christ was founded as a tiny storefront mission with a congregation of 16 Sunday School children in May 1966.

From this beginning, God has blessed the vision and Mount Airy Church of God in Christ has grown to a landmark church numbering more than 3,000 persons, with a uniquely far reaching ministry. The roster of working auxiliaries and ministries number more than 80 providing in-house and community social services. 

In addition, Mt. Airy owned and operated Bethesda Manor, a full service shelter for more than 190 homeless men and ex-offenders, providing medical treatment, drug rehabilitation, and vocational training. At present, Mount Airy manages the Stenton Family Manor, a full service family shelter which houses and provides counseling and skills training for more than 250 abused and displaced women and children. Mount Airy has also recently provided service to more than 500 women on site through the Welfare to Work program.
