FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURES
Psalm 1:1-3 (KJV)
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
​
I Peter 2:2 (KJV)
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby:
OUR BEGINNINGS
In 1983, GOD called Sidney P. Malone through an audible voice to minister HIS Word. By faith, he grabbed the vision, which soon exploded into reality. After seven years of biblical study inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT, Bishop Malone began teaching the life changing principles found in the Word of GOD.
Seven years later, he founded New Growth In Christ Christian Center on August 4, 1990. The ministry formed from a weekly bible study of six college students in an upstairs bedroom of the home of his mother, Evangelist Myrtle Malone. All of them were eager to hear and do GOD’S Word. Since then, the church has held services in several locations. Pastor James Rhodes allowed NGIC to use his church building on Friday nights for a weekly service. The congregation soon grew again and moved to the home of Bishop Malone’s late grandmother, Evangelist Christine Bell.
From there, NGIC was blessed to acquire a gymnasium which accommodated the ministry comfortably for a couple of years. On March 10, 1994, NGIC settled into its own home at 2568 Sparks Road, Memphis, Tennessee. NGIC held its first service in November 2004 at its current facility located at 7550 East Shelby Drive, Memphis, Tennessee.
At NGIC, we declare that we are a Global Ministry fulfilling the plan of GOD throughout the earth. Out of this ministry, Leaders and Pastors are being developed to equip GOD’S people, bringing them to full maturity.
NGIC is an anointed, contemporary, cutting-edge church on the move where the Spirit of GOD always manifests HIS Glory. As we continue to trust GOD every step of the way, we expect nothing less than Favor, Increased Grace, Blessings and VICTORY as we follow our visionary, Bishop Sidney P. Malone.
We have come this far by Faith and the Best is yet to come!
