Amazing Grace Fellowship began with a group of 13 people and our family of 4 at the time, who were committed to building a great church that is reaching the lost, building the body of Christ, and preparing people for ministry, 24 years ago today, on May 15, 1988. The ministry mission statement of Helping People and Training People to Help Others encompasses the vision of Amazing Grace. We not only wanted to serve, we wanted to teach and train people to be well equipped to serve others. AGF is here to make a difference! The first 5 ½ years, AGF met at the Y. We were a church on the move! That meant everything was moved in and out each week. The current property on Eastland was purchased and AGF was built at the current location in 1993. The prime property of 60 acres across the street from the church was purchased in 1999 and developed to incorporate and the Master Plan of a large facility for all of Amazing Grace Fellowship’s outreaches including a Bible School and a educational facility on 40 acres. A large addition with a Children’s Wing, a Fellowship Wing, and a Large Youth Church was finished in 2006. The flags of many nations fly in the AGF sanctuary as a reminder of our mandate, not only locally, but to the nations of the world as well. AGF media features the weekly TV show called REAL LIFE on the CBS station KMVT each Sunday Morning at 9:00 AM. KAGF at 105.5 FM is our radio outreach and features teaching and music, 24 hours a day. Great teaching from world- renowned ministries are offered each day, with local daily programming from my husband, Pastor Lynn Schaal, the staff at AGF, and 4 times a day with me sharing an Encouraging Word for your day. Each day the station features several hours of Hispanic programming bringing Christian radio programs to the Spanish population in our area.
It is encouraging to be involved with something that you know God has birthed and anointed. He wants people to know Him, to be found in Him, to grow in Him and to produce fruit for Him. Each individual life matters, and that is what ministry is all about. To be a part of encouraging the body of Christ through this local church for 24 years, is not just a mile marker, it is a living testimony to the goodness of God. Thanks for helping us celebrate Amazing Grace Fellowship’s 24th birthday, today!
