CHURCH MISSION

CHURCH HISTORY

On September 5, 2004, the Durham-Raleigh area began a significant transition as Grace Church of Durham, where Dr. Kedrick T. Lowery serves as Senior Pastor, opened its doors for the first time. Grace Church seeks to meet the whole person, for it is a “Ministry With You In Mind.”

Equipped with a vision to reach all ages and ethnicities, Dr. Kedrick Lowery employs a practical approach to the complex situations of life. An alumnus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina and Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and United Theological Seminary in Dayton, OH, Pastor Lowery accepted the call to ministry and was licensed to carry the gospel in 1992 under the tutelage of Bishop John L. Hines.

Embracing a passion for youth, Dr. Lowery served at the helm of youth ministry in multiple congregations, including a 7 - year tenure as Youth Pastor at Greater Cleveland Avenue Christian Church where Bishop Sheldon McCarter serves as Pastor.

In November 2003, Bishop McCarter preached the message “What Are You Waiting For?” Convinced and convicted, Dr. Lowery spoke with Bishop following service. Their conversation led to a mutual agreement that it was time for Dr. Lowery to “leave the nest.” This aggressive approach to God’s Call laid the foundation for the formation of Grace Church of Durham.

With clear origins in faith and leadership in constant pursuit of spiritual excellence, Grace Church is a ministry on the cutting edge “With You In Mind”!
