Our Mission

Primitive Haitian Church strives to be a place where heartfelt praise and worship bring heaven to earth. We are committed to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and reaching out to others through compassionate service—meeting their spiritual, emotional, and physical needs.

Our History

2008 - Pastor Francius and Lorette Pierre assumed leadership of Primitive Haitian Church.
2010 - Prior to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Pastor Francius received a vision to begin our annual revival with the theme, "Vi’n Di Bondye Mesi Pou Tout Bagay" (Give God Thanks for All Things), inspired by 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
2015 - PHC reached a significant milestone by becoming an independent church, while continuing to collaborate with various denominational partners.
2016 - PHC launched its first community outreach initiative by providing meals to the homeless in the Washington, D.C. area.
2018 - We launched our prayer line, providing a dedicated space for spiritual connection and intercession.
2020 - In response to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread closures, we expanded the prayer line from two 30-minute sessions daily to four one-hour sessions. These gatherings were enriched with Bible study, offering deeper spiritual nourishment during a time of global uncertainty.
2023 - The Sociocultural Group was established to foster community, joy, and fellowship through thoughtfully planned events and activities, enhancing the overall well-being and unity of our congregation.

Our Leadership

Our leadership team is guided by the belief that true leadership inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more. Together, we are committed to helping individuals build a deep, personal relationship with Christ and to cultivate their God-given talents for His service.

We are devoted to fulfilling the mission entrusted to us by God:
“Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” — Matthew 28:19

Our Team

"Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.”- Proverbs 11:14
