THIS LIFE IS A MARATHON AND ITS YOUR FAITH THAT WILL HELP YOU ENDURE IT
Welcome to Grace Family Fellowship, Gastonia's Foursquare Gospel Church! It won't take you long to discover that this truly is a family, a grace family, rich in the relationships that matter most with God and with others. In growing together, we worship, serve, laugh, cry, learn and reach out to our community and world with God's love. We invite you to take a look around our site and see what Grace Family Fellowship is all about. So, if you've been thinking, praying, searching and hoping for a place to belong, our doors and hearts are always open.
We are a church driven by the love of Jesus, trying to reach folks where they are and welcome them to our family for care and support on their journey to become the person that God has destined them to be. We love to share time with each other in passionate worship, study in the Bible in our Sunday Celebration and small groups throughout the week and even getting together for a meal or two.
We have some fellows who wear ties and ladies who wear dresses and also folks who wear jeans and relax. We are a family and know we have the same goal in mind, to bless God.
Our main service is full of music, prayer and a look into the scriptures and usually last around an hour and fifteen minutes. Our prayer is always that God would have his way in our services and every heart would be lifted and touched.
If you have kids, we have loving and safe children's church and nursery, but if you are not comfortable leaving your kids with strangers they can hang out with you until you get to know us. If you have teens, we have a strong youth group with kids from all over our town. Both the kids and teens have summer camps available and also go on fun trips throughout the year.
Well, that is a little about us, the rest is up to you. If you are looking for a church family we would love to meet you and see what God has in store for you with us. We pray that you will have a life blessed by God through Jesus and be strengthened to accomplish what He has planned for your life.

Meaningful Relationships - We believe that the greatest way to reach people is through relationships. Having someone there to be with you through lifes ups and downs by sharing time, giving a listening ear and reaching out in prayer can make all the difference in the world.
Empowering Leaders - We empower leaders, both men and women, and equip them with practical tools that will strengthen their leadership talents and release them to minister.
Strengthen Marriages - We will strengthen marriages by investing Biblical principles and proven methods to couples that will help them fulfill their vows for a lasting marriage relationship.
Having Fun - Having fun is a priority because we need to enjoy life and enjoy it with those around us. There will be fun in the things we do.
Spirit Lead Worship - Even though a worship service has a structure we are not confined to that structure and depend on God to lead and fill the service with his Spirit.
Genuine Hospitality - We extend kindness and generosity to families and individuals through acts of thoughtfulness and compassion to let them know that they have value and meaning to God and us.
Ministry to Children and Teens - Kids grow up so fast and face many challenges. We choose to minister to them during this time through teaching, fellowships, fun and give them a place to build a foundation for their lives.
Intentional Outreach - It is not enough for a church to sit within its walls and become stagnant; It needs to be arms out stretched, feet on the move and a heart waiting to touch those in need of Christs love. Outreach, even though it can happen at any moment, will be strategic and intentional to meet the needs of our community.
Biblical Based Preaching and Teaching - We will preach and teach the Bible and its principles because we believe that it is Gods love letter to mankind and that its contents can change the lives of those who hear it for eternity.
Maturing the Harvest - Just like a plant has a cycle, a planted seed growing until it bears fruit of its own, so do people in their life with Christ. We help people on this journey toward maturity. No matter where we are in our relationship with Christ we can always grow closer to Him.
Team with Parents - The parenting mission is to prepare children to leave the nest with the security and skills necessary to thrive in this unpredictable world. Teaming with parents by teaching Biblical morality and reinforcing Godly values will help parents obtain this mission.
Heart Driven Giving - We value giving to the point that we will receive an offering, or give people the opportunity to give financially, every time we meet together corporately. The Bible teaches us that Jesus blesses the cheerful giver. None should give by compulsion but with an attitude of heart that willingly gives out of their abundance and occasionally out of their need as well.
