The Pulse: GFC is 45 Years Old!
June 3, 2024

Dear GFC Community,

45 years ago (!), a group of men and women bonded over their love for community and God’s Word and banded together to start Grace Fellowship Church. It wasn’t called that back then. In fact, when the church began, there was no name, no building, no governing board, and no trained or paid leaders…Just 30-40 people seeking to study the Bible and faithfully live it out in relationships with one another and the community around them.

The mission of GFC, though, has remained the same…

To Glorify God by Joining Him in Building a Community to Reach a Community

It’s astonishing to reflect on how many different people have been impacted by and played a part in the accomplishment of that shared mission by God’s grace over the past four and a half decades. And that’s what the church is…people!

Normally on a birthday, you celebrate the person who is now a year older. But on a church’s birthday, we celebrate the God who has transformed, sustained, and empowered us by His grace to serve Him and others for His purposes and for His glory.

Thank you, God, for your faithfulness!

Matt

P.S. I am so excited about what God has in store for the future of Grace Fellowship Church! Make sure you mark your calendar for August 4,when we’ll devote a Sunday to the vision God has laid on our hearts for this season at GFC.
