N.Y. church plant struggles but perseveres during COVID

Since she was 15 years old, Alabama native Savannah Hutto has had a burden for the millions of non-Christians in New York City.

Today, through God-ordained experiences, she is working alongside Michael Hill and his wife, Shannon, to plant Bridge Community Church, Queens, New York.

Launched Easter 2019, the church has struggled during the past year because of COVID-19, but Hutto and the Hills are not giving up. “We have a small number, but God is working,” Hutto said.
