After spending 16 years in an American Legion Hall in Baldwin, this group found its location in Bellmore, purchasing the facility in 2004 and, a year later in 2005, changing the name to REAL Church at Christian Joy Fellowship. ("REAL" stands for "Relevant Everyday Answers for Life.") The church celebrated its 25th anniversary in April 2010.
It has a kids church program and Little Lambs Nursery for parents during worship time. The founding senior pastor of this church is Rev. Michael J. Burns.
