The Enmore church of Christ was established on May 3, 1987 by some of the brethren from the North Road church of Christ located in Georgetown, the Capitol of Guyana.

The Church had it's beginning with only 5 members, under a house shed by the home of Eileen Finlayson. She is the mother of Kenneth Finlayson, who at that time, was a student in the School of Biblical Studies (SBS) to become a minister of the gospel. Eileen was not a Christian at that time and there were less than 10 congregations of the Lord's Church in Guyana. In 1990, the Church had grown to the extent that it needed a larger meeting place. Permission was granted for the use of the Hope West Primary school. Although there were many inconveniences, it was a great blessing indeed. The school remained our meeting place until we moved to our current location. Eight years after we applied for government land, we were given the opportunity to purchase two house lots. We have been so richly blessed over the past eight years.

In 1999 Kenneth and Samantha Finlayson began the search for a facility to operate a home for abused and abandoned children. After looking in three nearby villages and finding nothing, we decided to ask the Enmore Church for their help. As we expected, they were so willing to be of assistance. We were given five years usage of half of the building. At that time, was it just one story so we expanded to a second story. The expanded space has allowed us to take in he 42 children we now have. We URGENTLY need a larger facility. Plans are now underway for the construction of a much larger and permanent building just across the road from where we are now. Again God has blessed us more than we could have imagined.
