Sunday was a special day in which we transitioned from our warehouse(s) to our new facility. Therefore, we took time to remember God’s gracious hand of providence through the stories of how each pastor joined our Fellowship. There have been highs and there have been lows, but through it all we all have a story of how incredibly gracious King Jesus has been to us. We are humbled and inspired for what lies ahead for Grace Fellowship in spreading the fame of God.
