Kingdom Life International Christian Center (KLICC) was founded on February 12th 1989 by Pastors Ashley & Marcia Estrada in the Conference room of the Windward Passage Hotel. The organization which began with about 25 persons has since grown to a present membership of approximately 300 adherents and 250 members. Additionally there are more than 300 alumni members in various parts of the United States. The organization originally operated under the name, Inner City Christian Center but since December 2000, it has carried the name, Kingdom Life International Christian Center. The organization functions with a Board of Directors, a full-time Pastor, full-time Administrator, full-time Administrative Assistant, Assistant Pastors, a Financial Comptroller, and seven Directors over the following ministries: Family, Evangelism, Missions, Helps, Administrative Services, Christian Education, and Music and Arts. In 2002, KLICC began its Institute of Biblical and Educational Studies, which prepares individuals for leadership both in the secular and religious fields. Since its inception, the organization has produced a weekly radio program on WSTA radio station, has supported missionaries and students both locally and abroad, and given aid and relief to individuals and families through its benevolent fund and home missions program. Through its fund raising program the organization was able to purchase a total of approximately 5 acres of land and has erected the first phase of its building project valued at approximately 450,000 dollars. At the present, we are working on the second phase of the building project which is valued at over 1,000,000 dollars. As a result of efficient management, the organization is almost completely debt free at this point in time, in spite of an ongoing building program for the last 7 years. KLICC has also hosted several conferences, seminars and meetings geared to positively impact the people of the Virgin Islands spiritually, socially, economically and morally. The pastors of the church provide pre-marital and marital counseling as well as family counseling. An active youth department meets every Friday to provide young people with an alternative to violence, drugs, and premature sexual activity. The youth are taught how to apply principles from the word of God to their lives so that they too can live a victorious Christian life. One aspect of the vision of Apostle Estrada is the birthing of new churches in various states and new countries of the world. At the beginning of 2005 KLICC Orlando became incorporated. On March 27, 2005, Apostle Estrada and Pastor Kenneth Estrada conducted a pre-launch service in a hotel conference room in Kissimmee, Florida. The group of believers which were at that service pledged their support to the work which officially began June 5, 2005. Since that time KLICC Orlando has grown and continues to grow as they teach the word of God and how an individual can apply the word to their lives. The organization exists to provide the whole counsel of God to all who will receive it.
