Isaiah 43:20-21 I provide water in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise.
This word in Isaiah 43:21 was given to Glory back in 1984 when we became a people – a people of praise coming together to celebrate and worship the Lord together. This verse gave us our first name, God’s People of Praise Community. You see we wanted to be more than just a Sunday church. We wanted this to be our life together, to share His goodness and to grow together as family! And so, we decided to call ourselves a Community – a community of believers who wanted to experience more of God and the life He provides.
God’s People of Praise Community took us far – we were enjoying life with the Father and with each other. Along the way, however, many who came and received from us would decide to leave and find a church because that is what we are told to do. We then realized how important it was for this Community to become a church and so we did – Glory Christian Fellowship in the year 2000. We are still God’s people of praise for that is what He made us, a people to praise Him. And our new name, Glory came out of the name God’s People of Praise Community. Pastor Dave had noticed that by writing the name a certain way you would find the letters GLORY.
We will always be God’s people, a people of Praise, and we will always come together as family. We have learned from His Word He is calling all believers into this family!
