Since the early 2000’s members who came from Bread of Life in the Philippines living in New York, have wanted to have a church started in their city as well. Understanding the need for community and involvement in God’s work especially among the overseas Filipinos, they expressed their earnest desire by taking part in the yearly three-day prayer and fasting held in California.

Pastors were eventually sent to handle Bible Studies for some months, and in 2009 Bread of Life New York officially opened and became the church’s first work in the East Coast.
