How it all started...
The history of Go For God Family Church goes back to the early years of Deeper Life Ministries and the birthing of the Charismatic Renewal Movement in Jamaica in the 1970’s. It became a spiritual movement of the Kingdom of God, for the renewing of the Church, the evangelization of the people and the transformation of the nation. The passion of that generation was motivated by the rallying cry expressed by Bishop Peter Morgan “God is going somewhere; I am going with Him, how about you!â€
That history gave birth to many new local churches and the establishment of a number of Christian ministries operating beyond the walls of the church. One such ministry is City Life Ministries in 2004 led by Pastor Carrington Morgan along with a small group of committed believers. They planted themselves within the heart of the City to institute transformational programs to bring relief and empowerment to the poor, the depressed and the marginalized. They provided by precept and by example the spiritual and Biblical principles of the Kingdom of God. The prophetic determination was expressed: “No Longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin and destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls salvation and your gates praise.†(Isaiah 60:18)
It is that same corps that has formed the base of Go For God Family Church under the leadership of Pastor Christopher Morgan, giving further impetus to the Kingdom mandate to renew the church, evangelize the people and transform the nation.

Expanding the vision...
In 2000, Pastor Christopher obeyed the call of God and enrolled in the School of Theology and Missions at Oral Roberts University, to formally prepare himself for the vocational Ministry. After completing his Masters in Divinity, he joined the staff of Covenant Church of Pittsburgh under the mentorship of Bishop Joseph Garlington. There he became immersed in worship, pursued the presence of God, developed the capacity to pastor and acquired the skill to administer the church.
Where we are headed...
In January 2009, he again obeyed the call of God. He returned to his homeland with a determined desire to shape a people into a community with a passion for God in worship, fellowship, and witness. The result is this unique company of believers, “In passionate pursuit of God and in powerful pursuit of His purposeâ€, with a heart to evangelize the people and to transform whole communities for the Glory of God.
