Grace Fellowship began on December 10, 1972, at Villa Fontana Clubhouse in Tulsa, Oklahoma with fifty people and Phil Johnson as pastor. Within a few weeks the congregation moved to Moore Funeral Chapel, and in the spring of 1973 the fast-growing Grace Fellowship moved to Skelly Jr. High with about 300 people.

In 1976, Grace Fellowship moved to a temporary home at Thoreau Jr. High while raising money for a permanent home. During our two year stay at Thoreau, our congregation grew to over 1000 people making Grace Fellowship the largest charismatic church in Tulsa. In 1978, Grace Fellowship finally moved into its new home at 86th and Memorial (on 10 acres purchased in May 1973).

With the addition of a new pastor in 1980, Bob Yandian, and a continuously growing congregation, the need for more seating and parking space became acute. Grace Fellowship finally found the perfect location for the present needs that would also allow for future growth. We purchased an 80 acre tract at 96th and Garnett in 1981, and in October 1983 Grace Fellowship moved to the current location. With over 100,000 square feet of building space, a membership of over 3500 people, a Christian School (K 1/2-High School) with 680 students, a ministry school with 35 students, and a faithful staff of 125+, we call this home.
