In the 1930’s, Rev. James Walls started a small, independent church on Michigan Avenue (now called Glendora Avenue) in Glendora. In 1940, this small congregation became affiliated with the Assemblies of God. This new church was simply known as Assembly of God, Glendora.

Ed Anderson was the first Foothill pastor under the Assemblies of God affiliation in 1941. Since then multiple pastors have contributed to the growth and history of this church, including, Rev. Bob Peters, Rev. Marcus Gaston, Rev. Gerald Fry (who started Foothill Christian School in 1964), Rev. Curtis Mettline, Rev. Wayne Fagerstrom, Rev. Mark Hinman and Rev. Bill Dogterom, who pastored the church for 27 years.

In November 2006, the baton was picked up by our Lead Pastor, Chris Lewis. Under his leadership, the church adopted a new name: Foothill Church. We want the community to know that we are a group of diverse people (ethnically, socioeconomically, politically, geographically) gathered for the common purpose of glorifying God and making Jesus famous in our community. In November 2007, we moved our services from the Foothill Christian School gymnasium on Baseline to the sanctuary at Grand Avenue. Since 2006, the church has maintained an annual growth of over 50% each year. God is moving at Foothill Church.
