In May of 2005, the Lord led two men, called by God, to begin a new ministry in the Cleveland area. The continuing purpose is to touch people with the Word of God, within a community of Grace. The church began with 50 people coming together on May 7, 2005 at the Homewood Suites Hotel in Solon, OH for worship and prayer. The following week, the Lord opened the door for worship at a larger facility, the Red Roof Inn, in Bedford Heights with 100 people in attendance. Two months later AGF moved to the Mediterranean Center also in Bedford Heights, which could accommodate 250 adults and our Children’s ministries.

Today, God has blessed us to worship at the beautiful Park Synagogue, in Cleveland Heights, where the church meets weekly on a 33 acre campus, with ample parking, a spacious auditorium, and 400 members in attendance.

Abundant Grace Fellowship is committed to the following ministry objectives:

* Teaching the Word
* Making Disciples
* Caring for People
* Standing for Truth within a “Community of Grace”.


Abundant Grace Fellowship features over 25 ministries, and 23 “Grace Groups”, our foundational small group ministry. Dynamic Bible teaching, innovative youth ministries (“Teens and Kids with Purpose”), and practical ministries for women (“Women of Grace”) and seniors (“Grace Forever”) are strategic features of our ministry. We're dedicated to “Making Disciples of All Ages”.

AGF is made up of caring, dedicated people, who love the Lord and one another. They serve Christ with passion, and purpose, and lead with integrity.

Our Care and Prayer Ministries ensures that our members receive love, compassion, and support in times of need from their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Our Marriage Ministry, works with couples to experience high harmony and deep intimacy with God and one another. This year we launched our marriage ministry radio broadcast (“Why in God’s Name Did I Get Married?”) to help more marriage relationships in our city.

Our Worship Ministry, featuring our praise team, “Daughters of Grace” dance ministry, Praising Tots, and teen hip-hop dancers usher us into the presence of God each week, as we adore our Savior and Creator.

Members are discipled through our in depth Sunday School for adults, teens, and kids.

The center of our ministry is the real, and relevant preaching of the Word of God by our pastors, Jerry Birch and Darryl Harris. Their accurate teaching, and application of the Word of God strengthens believers and challenges unbelievers to make life-changing decisions for Christ.

They are assisted by a team of elders and deacons, committed to meeting the needs of the people, and model servant leadership. We have also been blessed by the emerging ministry of Pastor Luvirt Parker.

Members enjoy wonderful times of fellowship at our annual church picnic and many other special events throughout the year.

Since our beginning we have “witnessed” the wonderful, loving, caring hand of God on our ministry. He has done “exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think”.

For every saved, or encouraged life, we praise God and give Him the glory! We strive to follow Christ into a bright future for AGF.
“We are Witnesses!“

WHAT WILL GOD DO IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS? BUCKLE UP!

DON'T TAKE THE GRACE OF GOD FOR GRANTED...IT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU!
