On August 21, 1972, a group of fellow Christians and Baptized believers gathered at the home of Michael Petersen, in order to carry on the work of the Lord, as He had directed by starting a non-denominational church in Fayetteville, NC.  These people were:

Rev. Ken W. and Lillian Pritchard Vic and Carol Imes Robert Probst Gene and Sharon Wells Dale and Brenda Hall Mrs. Pansy Pritchard Carl and Sandra Ham

Norma Jean French Carol Vincent Ron and Carol Coleman Mike and Becky Petersen Roger and Diane Jackson John and Jo Mullholland

It was decided that the church would be named Fayetteville Community Church and it would be dedicated on the principles that the Bible is the inspired word of God, that salvation is only through the power of Jesus Christ, and that a personal, everyday powerful witness for the Lord can be had through the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Our motto is...

"...My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"

Philippians 4:19

The Lord provided the Fayetteville Community Church with the McNairy building in Eutaw Shopping Center for the first services to be held on August 27, 1972 at 11:00 a.m.

First officers of the church were:  Treasurer - Dale Hall and Assistant - Vic Imes;  Secretary - Carol Coleman and Assistant - Carol Imes.
