Earl & Pat Eicher - Elder
We are one of three couples that, back in 1984, heard from GOD to go to Sturgis and start a church. We were involved in FGBMFI for several years and received the teaching of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We knew we should start a church that included teaching on the Holy Spirit. We were not called as pastors so we held hands in the parking lot and asked GOD to send us a pastor. Within a year God did and GRACE was started.
