Likewise was Grace Fellowship Sanctuary birthed by the Grace and Will of God in the heart of Pastor Kelly Jones Sr. Although a blessed family, God allowed Pastor Jones and his wife to experience many of life’s diverse hardships. From having a child diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy to Financial hardships. From ministry hurts and transitions to having a career on the Fire Department that witnesses firs
t-hand the pain and struggle of everyday people in our community. With each adversity Pastor Jones and his wife firmly recall and believe that it was God that brought them through. As God brought them through, He encouraged them to remember where he had brought them from. It was in 2013, during one of the heaviest times in the life of Pastor Jones when God imparted (gave birth) into his spirit the command to start a ministry that would reach people in areas familiar with their struggles. While trying to avoid this calling the lord continued to deal with Pastor Jones. In early 2014 he and his wife went into consecration and after several months Pastor Jones accepted his calling. Pastor Jones recalls it as “a weight being lifted off my shoulders”. When he shared this with his wife she said the Lord had already revealed it to her. As the lord dealt with Pastor Jones the lord showed him the vision for the church.
