About Full Life

Full Life Gospel Assembly Church, Inc. was founded in 1996 by Pastor Virgle M. Wilder and Mother Vivian Wilder. We opened our doors for public worship on February 4, 1996, and were officially incorporated on June 15. Our founding trustees included V. Porter, M. Frazier, R.L. Clark, and L. Crumpton. Since our establishment, M. Frazier and R.L. Clark have gone home to be with the Lord, and we honor their memory and contribution to our mission.

Our ministry was established to:

  • Maintain a place of worship.

  • Spread the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

  • Initiate preventive crime and alternative programs for youth.

  • Visit hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, prisons, and other institutions.

  • Offer outreach programs that provide assistance to our community.

  • Ordain ministers, deacons, evangelists, missionaries, and other church officers.

  • Establish a Bible Institute for adults and preparatory courses for beginners.

  • Engage in radio, television, seminars, workshops, and conferences to minister to the spiritual, material, and physical needs of individuals.

  • Perform christenings, marriages, communion, baptisms, and funerals.

  • Provide food, clothing, and shelter, with a focus on improving the community’s socio-economic environment.

  • Conduct outreach activities throughout the Metropolitan area.

For 25 years, we have faithfully pursued this mission, adapting our methods and reaching those in need with dedication. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we transitioned to virtual worship services via conference calls, allowing us to continue serving and connecting with our congregation. Pastor Wilder now resides in North Carolina where he oversees a congregation there, while Mother Wilder continues pastoring Full Life Gospel Assembly, Inc.

After the pandemic, we collectively decided to maintain our virtual worship format. In September 2024, the New York State Attorney General approved the sale of our church building and assets. This sale allowed us to donate the proceeds to the following ministries and organizations:

  • Spiritual Awakening Ministries, Bronx, NY

  • Praying Partners International Ministries

  • Rapture Preparation Church of Christ

  • Allen Memorial Church of God in Christ, Mount Vernon, NY

  • L.I.V.E. Church, Mount Vernon, NY

  • Congregation Beth Ohr, Bellmore, NY

We remain grateful to God for guiding us in our journey and allowing us to continue sharing His love with the world.

Mother Vivian Wilder
