Church History
In 1999 – Leaving Las Vegas
Pastor Kelly Richards responded to the call of God to start a new work. Grace Cathedral Community Church was officially chartered in the State of Nevada on September 20, 1999. In January of 2000 GCCC became a 501© 3 nonprofit organization. GCCC held its Sunday services in a merged service with Antisepsis Full Gospel Ministries. Pastor Kelly and Andrea prayed earnestly about the call to move GCCC to the Flint area. Pastor Kelly and Andrea believed in their heart that God directed them to leave Las Vegas and begin a ministry directed at their friends and family. Pastor Kelly and Andrea made phone calls back to Michigan preparing family and friends for the new work in Flint. God showed he was awesome to this young ministry. God opened up doors for the pastors to secure employment before they even left Las Vegas.
In 2004 – The Charter Service
Pastor Kelly held a meeting with about 10 like minded people who wanted to participate in this new church start. Pastor Recco and his family, Percy Richards and his family, Charles banks and his family and others were interested in participating in this new work.
