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.

Earl grew up on a family dairy farm and attended a Mennonite church where he got saved at the age of 12. After graduating from high school he started a business selling and servicing lawn mowers, chain saws, and motorcycles. Earl met Pat at 17 and were married at 19.

Pat is a homemaker and enjoys cooking, making quilts, flower gardening, and spending time with the grandchildren. They now have 2 children and 4 grandchildren and have been together 51 years. They serve on the hospitality team and Pat bakes for the café.

They like to introduce exciting new ideas like "The Truth Project" and "Healthy Lifestyles" as small groups.

Ex 15:26 - "If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your GOD and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put non of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you."
