From its inception, April 18, 1976, Willowbrook Church has been blessed by God. That Easter Sunday morning thirty-seven people joined Rev. Albert J. Wilson for its first worship service. The church was officially constituted on May 16, 1976. The next year two hundred and fifty members voted to construct the church at its current location. Those founding members adopted a faith statement: “Expect a Miracle.”
