HistoryIn the late 1970s,[2] Larry and Laverne Kreider started a small group Bible study to reach unchurched youth in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The Kreiders were unable to connect these youth to local churches in their area.

These groups met together in a large living room for their first Sunday Morning celebration in October 1980. DOVE Christian Fellowship was born.[3] First Ten Years - DOVE Christian Fellowship grew to over 2,000 believers scattered throughout a seven-county region of Pennsylvania. More than one hundred small groups met during the week and on Sunday mornings.[3]Small Group Churches Emerge 1996 - Eight small group-based churches were created from the one. Included were three other small group churches in Kenya, Uganda and New Zealand.
