Pastor George Grace and his wife Penny trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior in the late summer of 1972, as a result of the faithful witness of a member of the First Bible Baptist Church, the church he now pastors. Many wonderful people befriended the Graces at FBBC, and they soon became integrally involved in the ministry here.
While attending a Bus Conference hosted by Jerry Falwell in Lynchburg, Virginia, George felt the burden of the Lord to surrender to full-time service. With no promise of compensation, George resigned from Kodak and joined the church staff in March of 1973 as Bus Pastor. When Pastor Mullen, the church’s founding pastor, resigned in October, 1973, James Modlish was called as pastor, and George became the Youth Pastor, along with his other duties serving as director of the church's summer camp, Circle Seven Ranch. Pastor George became the Associate Pastor in 1981. When Pastor Modlish resigned in 1983, George was called to be the Pastor and celebrated his 30th Anniversary with First Bible in 2003.
Through the leadership and staff of FBBC, God has called hundreds of men and women to the Gospel ministry and First Bible Baptist Church has grown in "grace and truth" to the position of influence in our community that we now enjoy. That influence extends beyond our community; First Bible’s global presence is seen in the hundred-plus missionary families, individuals and organizations around the world supported by our mission dollars, including over twenty-five missionary families and individuals sent out of our own church. Thousands of people attend the church's Christmas Celebration each year. Hundreds of children participate in our Athletic Ministries and hundreds of people come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior each year. FBBC truly is a place in our community where people can experience and worship God and "ordinary people are turned into fully-devoted followers of Jesus Christ!"
Pastor and Penny will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary January 27, 2008. They have raised five children: Chris, Kelly Garwood, Jeff, Scott, and Stephanie, all faithfully worshiping and serving God here at FBBC. They are the proud “owners” of four grandchildren. |
