Grace Fellowship Church began as Pillar Of Truth Christian Ministries on June 8, 2003, at 1400 Stewart Ave. in  Gulfport, MS. The church  was born out of a  mandate from God  for Pastor Felix to return back to his hometown to birth a ministry.

Obeying the leading of the Lord on August 5, 2001, Pastor Felix moved back to Gulfport, MS., he along with his 10 year old son, Mitchell Terrell. Upon his return God revealed to him, people who were lost having no direction.

One month after his arrival he received a call about a building that needed some extensive work and although it was a former nightclub, God confirmed that this was the place.

While work was being done on the building Pastor Williams began having Bible Study at Gaston Point Elementary School. After 5 months they relocated to Mother Beulah Massey’s Mission House. Three months later they began having Bible Study in the building while it was under construction.

After 18 months of hard work and much support from Light Of The World Decatur, GA (where Pastor Williams had faithfully served his spiritual father and Pastor, Bishop Jimmie Lee & Ruth Smith for some 10 years, and a couple of churches here on the coast, and friends (who are now called Friend Of the Vision), We had our first service on June 8, 2003

On January 18, 2004, Pastor Felix Married Jocelyne Bautista, the perfect helpmate for what God had called him to do.

The  ministry has definitely had it’s birthing pains, from the building being put up for sell, to buying the building and trying to renovate.

On August 29, 2005 Katrina hit the coast and ripped off the flat top roof and ruined everything inside. God spoke seven days later and said rebuild, with no insurance and no FEMA, just God’s Word.

God sent help from everywhere to accomplish the Word that He  had sent out: a total of 13  States that sent teams especially for us.

We reopened our doors on May 7, 2006. God has blessed us to be a Multi-Cultural and Multi-Ethnic Congregation.

The Lord  favored us with so much grace and new life long friends, and with a word of knowledge from Him, we  adopted GRACE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH as our new name.

Grace Fellowship continues to seek God and to walk in the light of His revelation. We serve on the Board of Directors of the Gaston Point Community Development, we sow into local outreaches such as Feed my Sheep, Women’s Resource Center and we have an Incarcerated Care Ministry. We participated in the after  school tutoring for the 2010/2011 school year.

We are preparing to break ground for our Children and Youth facility. This building will enable us to have a much greater impact on the growing and maturing Grace Family. We are also in the process of opening a food bank. Our hearts are grieved when we walk the streets of the Community and find out that some of our neighbors choose between food and medication. With GraceACT (Evangelism Ministry), we are determined to “go in to all the world” street by street and proclaim the love of God.

We endeavor to become the dwelling place of God. We have on-site prayer everyday. Positioning ourselves to receive the blessing explosion that is about to happen.
