MIRACLE ON MAIN STREET: LIFE CHANGING FAITH CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP RECLAIMS THE ABBEY
If history truly repeats itself, then Life Changing Faith Christian Fellowship is a testament, as it reclaimed the building that was the initial location of First Baptist Church for 70 years. After 25 years as The Abbey Grill before it closed its doors in December 2008, the church congregation launched its Faith In Action Capital Campaign in May 2009, and successfully raised funds for the acquisition last week.
Life Changing Faith Christian Fellowship held its official launch-service at the Holiday Inn beginning in March 2008, grew exponentially, and moved to its current location at the FriscoConvention Center in May 2008. Since March, the church has experienced over 400 percent growth in active membership and continues to grow as the word of God and the love of God is shared each week.
"This is where we want to be," said Pastor Dono Pelham, a fourth-generation minister who moved to Frisco in 2003. "We want to link with the history of the city and link to the future of the city. This Capital Campaign wasn’t just about fundraising, but faith-raising.” Plans are underway to hold its first service on Main Street in December.
