OUR JOURNEY

Christian Assembly began in 1924 when Rev. Frank Frano brought the gospel message to Cleveland. In 1945 Rev. Samuel Lee received the call to the pastorate and during his tenure the German Lutheran church on E. 159th St was purchased. In 1953, Rev. James DiStaulo succeeded Rev. Lee and served as pastor until October 1965. In February of 1966, Rev. Michael Marino accepted the church's call to pastor. In 1968, the present building - in Richmond Heights - had its beginning. In July, 1975, ground was broken; in October 1978, the church building was dedicated. In 1985, additional educational facilities were added, including a multi-purpose/gymnasium. In 2009, Marc Saginario became the pastor and served for two years. Christian Assembly is pastored by Alan & Mary Schrader, who arrived in December 2012.
