Seminary Covenant Community was founded in 1976 in New York by a group of ministers desiring to build small group house churches. As they met, their faith and love for the LORD grew.  Eventually, they became ministers in other Christian organizations.  Dr. Francis Bradley moved the headquarters to Florida in 1982, where he continued in small group ministries.

In 1989, seeking biblical accountability and a covering for ministry, Paul Rosbury joined Seminary Covenant Community.  He was ordained in May of that year and began his ministry as the Lord called, first to plant small groups in the Midway Colony area. As Paul faithfully labored and God blessed his efforts, the neighborhood was transformed from a drug infested, crime ridden place, to a “safe haven” for people to raise their children and live a joyous life in Jesus

As the Midway Colony ministry continued to thrive, Pastor Paul continued to expand into other areas, such as substance abuse recovery, welfare reform, and the Hungry and Homeless program.  Through all of this, Paul saw the need and benefit of planting small “home group” churches, and continued to pursue that ideal.

In 1998, Seminary Covenant Community was granted a group exemption 501c3, and began accepting applications from individuals and ministry organizations desiring membership and the biblical accountability that comes with it.  Pastor Rosbury became President and Spiritual Director in 2001, and under his direction and leadership, SCC has grown to become a vibrant network of ministries, churches, and pastors, each striving to fulfill their unique call from God.  He now serves as Chairman of the Board following the retirement of Frank Bradley.

In 2012, SCC acquired a 2.9 acre site with an existing Church, Education Building and parsonage for its World Headquarters.  The following year, we established our first “Ministry Incubator” — a central location where individuals and ministries can grow and discover what Jesus has called them to be and do.  The CENTER is a facility that enables Christian Education, Nurturing, Teaching, Evangelism and Reconciliation.
