The seeds of Grace Fellowship Church extend
back to 1995 when a few families started meeting in a home. Their
desire was to meet together for Sunday worship while seeking God’s
wisdom as to a new church that would be marked by a commitment to
the Doctrines of Grace, obedience to the Word of God, a commitment
to prayer, and a zeal to see God glorified and honored in all
things.
During that time, under the leadership and
Bible teaching of Wayne Fullerton, the small group became
convinced that God would be pleased for them to take the necessary
steps to plant a new church. Taking steps in that direction,
Pastor Greg Johnson was called to be the Pastor-Teacher of the new
work in August of 1997.
Since our beginning, God has been faithful to
bless the work of ministry, add to our numbers, grant us spiritual
growth, and increase our love and devotion to Him. God has also
been faithful to always provide for the needs of the work of
ministry at Grace. In December of 1997, God provided a place for
public worship on the Lord’s Day at Weddington Swim and Racquet
Club. In August of 1998, the church was able to fully support
Pastor Greg and thus allow him to give full time to the work of
ministry. In February of 2003, the church moved to the Matthews
Community Center for worship on the Lord’s Day. As further
testimony of God’s provision and goodness, in September of 2009,
God graciously and providentially provided permanent property and
facilities in Indian Trail, NC. By His grace and the strength He
supplies, we pray God will continue to bless our labor for the
sake of His Name in making disciples and spreading the gospel of
the glory of Christ, who is preeminent over all.
Since Grace Fellowship Church began, God's work
has been evident, and we praise Him for His goodness. It is
exciting to consider the work our Lord may be pleased to perform
through this local body of believers in the future. Our desire and
prayer is that He will be honored every step of the way and
receive all the glory to Himself. Grace Fellowship Church is
committed to establishing those ministries which glorify and honor
our Triune God and support our purpose and commitments. Our
ultimate purpose at Grace Fellowship Church is to glorify God in
all respects and to exalt His holy name. With Christ as our Head,
the Bible as our sole authority, and evangelism and
disciple-making as our mission, Grace Fellowship Church seeks to
fulfill the purpose Christ gave to His church to the praise of
God's glorious grace. |
