Our History
Grace
Fellowship Church was started in 1984 by Pastor Paul Berube
and a group of believers from the “Abbott Loop Christian
Center” in Anchorage, Alaska. Pastor Paul, a native
of Nashua, sensed God’s call to start a new church in
Southern New Hampshire. The church met in various rented facilities
prior to the purchase of 43 Main Street in 1989.
In 1995, Grace purchased the Greeley House on the Nashua River
for administrative offices, youth ministries and the church's
counseling center. The Greeley House is now used as special
housing for visiting speakers and missionaries.
In
1997, the Franklin Mill building at 34 Franklin Street was
added to the Grace campus. This large facility, formerly the
Nashua Corporation, is a mix of ministry, business, and housing
and is the home of the Greater Nashua House of Prayer and
the Nashua Christian Academy. Some of the space is also donated
to local organizations such as the Crisis Pregnancy Center,
Vision New England, and Willowdale Christian Counselors. In
2000, 55 Franklin Street was purchased and converted to church
offices, a youth fellowship hall and several meeting rooms
used for “Growth & Healing” classes. In the
summer of 2002 the renovation of the second floor was completed
and became the home of the Nashua Christian High School.
While we give glory to God for all His blessings, we are most
thankful for each and every person the Lord brings to us.
It is first and foremost people who make Grace full of life
and love. Worship attendance at the three weekend services
is about 800. We are very excited about what God has done
in the past and what He has planned for Grace Fellowship in
the future.
