A History of Grace family Baptist Church of Conroe, Texas
My family and I began attending a new church in late summer of 2006. Grace Family Baptist Church, on the north side of Houston, TX, had only been planted a few months prior to our attending. We entered into covenant membership that fall, and rejoiced in God’s faithfulness to our family to find a solid church, under whose teaching we hoped to grow. It was here that Providence made two profound introductions to me: 1) the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689, about which I was unfamiliar prior to attending GFBC; and 2) the brother who would become my dear friend and mentor, Voddie Baucham.
A Brief History of Faith Community Baptist Church of Fort Worth
On November 15, 1998, a small group of believers gathered in a home for the study of the Word of God. This providential meeting was the beginning point for what would soon become Faith Community Baptist Church. Following a few weekly gatherings and several planning meetings, on December 6th of the same year, Faith Community Baptist Church was constituted. We were a loosely connected group of people that had providentially been through what might be described as a church split. We were hurting and hungry, but hopeful. One might say we were lacking clarity and direction, but had a Bible in our hands, and at the moment, thought that was all we needed. We were naïve, young, and somewhat foolish, unaware of our need for counsel and unaware of where to get it even if we had known we should. Perhaps needless to say, we were not “reformed.” We were not “confessional.” We were not “associational.”
Yet in the providence of the Lord many of these things over the coming months and years were to begin to change.
