Our ministry seeks to uplift, encourage, and guide people to experience the transformative power of Jesus Christ in their everyday lives.

History of God’s Promise

God’s Promise began as a vision shared by several members and their pastor, who chose to step away from traditional denominational churches to establish a contemporary, non-traditional ministry focused on the needs of the Sanford community. This ministry aimed to positively impact the City of Sanford and Greater Lee County by emphasizing education and community outreach.

This vision became a reality when, with the help of Pastor Harrison and Kathy Ray—who graciously opened their church building for the first service—God’s Promise held its inaugural worship gathering at God’s Fellowship Christian Center in Broadway, NC. Over 30 individuals attended the 8:00 AM service on April 1, 2012. Services continued at this location through August 2012.
