It’s been 19 years since Pastor Kirby Andersen, along with his wife, Gail, and their five children, moved from Tulsa, OK to become senior pastor of Word of Grace Community Church in Sheboygan Falls, WI. WOGCC was then a church of only 40 people; yet, Pastor Kirby had a big vision for the future of the church.
Fast forward to 2009. Word of Grace has remodeled and held services in 3 facilities, grown to over 400 members and regular attenders, discipled and baptized scores of believers, and earned an excellent reputation in the community. The methods and style have changed over the years, but the message of God's love and grace has remained rock solid. The church is riding a wave of momentum and is poised for exponential growth.
Now, having received new marching orders from the Lord, Pastor Kirby and Gail will be relocating to Oklahoma. We will miss them, yet we are excited for what the Lord has in store for them and WOGCC. As Pastor Kirby says, “The best days for WOGCC are yet to come!”
