Quickly, God began to bless the church starting with the first twenty-five dollar donation that was given by Elder Carletha Ward to collecting over $50,000 within the first month of organizing. That night, Pastor Royal announced the name of the church (Contending for the Faith Church Ministries), and he asked members to prepare themselves to give into this new ministry endeavor. Royal and Lady Melessha Royal joined approximately 200 people at the newly constructed Darden Middle School to become the founders of Contending for the Faith Church Ministries.

In particular, Pastor Royal was arrested by the words of Jude 1:3 in which the writer admonished his readers to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
