Short History of the Metro Tuguegarao Church of Christ

It was that cold Sunday, January 1, 1984 when bro. Rody & Sis. Tessie Gumpad first assembled for worship together with their 5 small siblings at the 2nd door of the Mabazza Apartment they were renting at Riverside, Tuguegarao, Cagayan. The next Sunday of worship was attended by some of their invited Non Christian neighbors. Then the first fruit of labor, Bro. Francisco Duque, of Calamagui, Amulung, Cagayan, was baptized into Christ that month of February.

In the month of March 1984, the wife and daughters of brother Francisco Duque were also baptized into Christ! But un-avoided circumstances was experienced by the new work that forced them to move at Cavite Street, Tanza, Tuguegarao in that same month of March! The next month of April came and Sister Noemi Gabun was also baptized into Christ!

Then a Gospel meeting was held in the month of May 1984 and 28 souls were baptized into Christ including bro. Geronimo Ganela and his wife of Rizal, Kalinga, bro. Felipe Catolos of Caggay, Tuguegarao and others from different places! In the next month of June 1984, our late bro. Onofre Quinto and his wife identified themselves and placed their membership with the Congregation..

The next month of June 1984, the Congregation relocated from Cavite Street, Tanza, to the Tri-Star Restaurant Conference Hall of the Alvin Building at Balzain, Tuguegarao. It was that time that the Congregation was named known as the Metro Tuguegarao Church of Christ. The Church met at the Alvin Building until they moved on the last Sunday of the year 1988 to the present location now at Pattaui Street, Ugac Norte. The first building was tore down for the bigger present building. Regular attendance now is 120 including children and the Congregation is in preparation for some of its men for the Eldership to oversee the flock! May God continue to bless us all this year 2009!

The Metro Tuguegarao Church of Christ is Located in #38 PattauiSt. , Ugac Norte, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan 3500, Philippines. Come and worship with us in Spirit and in Truth (Jn.8:32).
