In 1989, Pastor Sam Lacanienta who was then the Director of Church Planting for Filipino churches of the Southwest District of the Baptist General Conference, was given

a vision by God to start a Filipino-American church in the City of Corona. Several years went by as Pastor Sam searched and tried out several possible Church Planters to head the Corona Ministry. After several starts and stops and a lot of prayer, through the recommendation of Pastor Charles Patam of Living Stone Church in Long Beach, Pastor Sam appointed Ed Dacio who was then a Master of Divinity student from Talbot Theological Seminary at Biola University, to be the Church Planter and First Pastor of The Filipino-American Church of Corona (FILACOR). With only their faith in the Lord and their zeal to serve Him, three families set out to glorify God by planting a church in Corona. These were Ferdinand and Lilian Cancino with their two sons J.R. and Archie; Peter Lacanienta and his wife Kynna; and Pastor Ed and his wife Cory, with their son Myles. With only 6 adults and three children, their first Sunday Service was held on May 4, 1997 at the Faith Baptist Church. During the January 1999 Church Planning Meeting, a unanimous decision was made to change the church name from The Filipino-American Church of Corona to the name Corona International Christian Fellowship (CICF). This name change was done to ensure that everyone and anyone would never feel excluded but welcome to worship the Lord at CICF - no matter what their cultural background or national heritage was. The story of Corona International Christian Fellowship is a testimony of the Grace and Faithfulness of God. There is still much work to be done in Corona and the surrounding communities, so the story of CICF goes on - and will keep going on until the Lord’s return. Until then, may God continue to use Corona International Christian Fellowship as a light to spread the Gospel of Christ, and as a vessel to expand His Kingdom.

Today marked our first service at our new location. Thank you, Lord, for Your faithfulness and guidance as we begin this new chapter together.
‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭29‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬
“Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father David had done. In the first month of the first year of his reign, he opened the doors of the temple of the Lord and repaired them. He brought in the priests and the Levites, assembled them in the square on the east side and said: “Listen to me, Levites! Consecrate yourselves now and consecrate the temple of the Lord, the God of your ancestors. Remove all defilement from the sanctuary. Our parents were unfaithful; they did evil in the eyes of the Lord our God and forsook him. They turned their faces away from the Lord’s dwelling place and turned their backs on him. They also shut the doors of the portico and put out the lamps. They did not burn incense or present any burnt offerings at the sanctuary to the God of Israel. Therefore, the anger of the Lord has fallen on Judah and Jerusalem; he has made them an object of dread and horror and scorn, as you can see with your own eyes. This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword and why our sons and daughters and our wives are in captivity. Now I intend to make a covenant with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that his fierce anger will turn away from us. My sons, do not be negligent now, for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him and serve him, to minister before him and to burn incense.”
