Faith Mission
Rev. Lincoln Seddon was ordained as a minister of the Gospel in 1956 by Zion Gospel Temple. Soon afterward, he felt the Lord leading him to begin a work in South Providence, Rhode Island. In 1958, by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Faith Mission came into being. Pastor Seddon, along with his wife Marion and their six children, labored nine years, laying a strong spiritual foundation for the future. Pastor Seddon also broadcast each day over WRIB Christian radio in Providence, Rhode Island for 15 years. He became known to his listeners as Pastor Lincoln.
Faith Church
In the fall of 1965, as Faith Mission experienced growth, God led Pastor Seddon to Scituate, Rhode Island. Through a miracle from God, Faith Mission purchased the former North Scituate Advent Church. With this, Faith Church was born to the Glory of God. Pastor Seddon and his wife Marion labored faithfully there for twenty-four more years, laying a strong spiritual foundation for many souls.
Early in 1989, the Lord had shown Pastor Lincoln Seddon that “Moses was not able to go into the Promised Land, but Joshua would take the mantle.” At about the same time, the Lord was preparing to speak to Pastor Seddon’s son-in-law, Rev. Dennis Monroe, who was fruitfully serving God as Associate Pastor at Redeeming Word of Life Church in Louisiana. In spite of his growing effectiveness there, the Lord spoke to Rev. Monroe publicly through a prophetic word at a leadership conference that “God would send him back to New England.” Shortly after this, in the providence of God, Pastor Seddon told Rev. Monroe what the Lord had shown him about not being able to enter the Promised Land. After much prayer and soul-searching, they both discerned that God had called Rev. Dennis Monroe to take over the work at Faith Church in Rhode Island!
Faith Tabernacle
Under Rev. Monroe’s leadership, by the fall of 1990 Faith Church had once again outgrown their building. Through another miracle of God, the church purchased the former Highland Orchards building on Route 101 in Scituate, Rhode Island. With this action, Faith Tabernacle was born to the glory of God. Pastor Monroe pastored Faith Tabernacle for over 30 year.
Marching on in Faith! (FTC)
In 2017, the Lord started working on the heart of Pastor Dennis Monroe’s son-in-law, Pastor Raymond Gambuto, who was serving as the church’s children’s church pastor, to help with the work at Faith Tabernacle. Through much prayer, it was confirmed at a meeting that God was calling Pastor Raymond into the ministry. In 2020, he bagan serving as the church’s associate pastor working alongside Pastor Dennis. At the beginning of 2022, Pastor Monroe felt that the mantle had been passed. Pastor Raymond along with his wife Alicia became the senior pastor of Faith Tabernacle or what he now calls “FTC.”
Faith Tabernacle continues to preach and minister the uncompromised Word of God by the leading of the Holy Spirit!
