Four Churches Join FGBC!
Posted by Liz Cutler Gates on July 26, 2009
The annual conference of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches kicked off this afternoon at the Grace Brethren Church of Columbus, Ohio, with dinner and a business meeting.
During the meeting, four new Grace Brethren churches were welcomed into the Fellowship. They are Clearview Church, New Albany, Ohio (Andy Wirt, pastor); Soma Community Church, Springfield, Ohio (Dave Black, pastor); Twin Cities Church, Minneapolis, Minn. (George Stagg, pastor), and Encounter Church, Dublin (Jerome Twp.), Ohio, (Sean Spoelstra, pastor).
Three new national ministries were approved: Grace in Action, an organization founded by Gladys Deloe to inspire and prepare individuals and churches to show the love of Christ through education and economic development; Integrated Community Development International (ICDI), an organization founded by Jim and Faye Hocking and working in Central Africa to develop leadership and empower communities to overcome difficult problems on their own; and GBC Canada, the Grace Brethren church planting ministry in Canada.

Liz, I came across your blog today via an e-mail from Ron Boehm of Vision Ohio. I wanted to thank you for mentioning the four churches and having links back to our websites and blogs. Thanks too for taking a pic. b/c I didn't have one to put on my blog.
Sincerely Sean Spoelstra, Encounter Church
