April 2010

Thank you for visiting our website! Whether you are investigating the claims of Jesus Christ for the first time, looking for a church home, or just surfing the Internet, we hope this site will encourage you and help you to know more about our congregation.

My third year of ministry among the saints here in Cookeville is in full swing, and I look forward to seeing what God accomplish in and through us in 2010. Our Session’s Strategic Planning Committee will be meeting all this year, and I hope you’ll pray for the Lord to use that process to lead and guide us in the way He would have us go. I have begun a new series through Paul’s letter to the Colossians, and I continue to preach through Mark’s gospel on Sunday evenings. You can listen to past sermons here. I also invite you to visit my blog.

God has richly blessed Grace Presbyterian Church during her short existence, and we are grateful for the work He is continuing to do in our midst. As one of the few PCA congregations in the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee, Grace Presbyterian Church is providentially situated in a strategic position to help spread the good news of the grace of Christ to sinners near and far. As you see above, we are currently worshipping at Algood School, just around the corner from our church property. Lord willing we will be able to build upon our property sooner rather than later, but until then we rejoice that we are already able to begin cultivating relationships in our neighborhood.

I am only the second pastor in the life of Grace, which was planted in 1992 and pastored by Joey Stewart from 1993-2007. Through the years, Grace has been committed to seeing God’s people gathered and equipped through the ordinary means of grace: the Word of God, prayer, the sacraments, and fellowship. We are thankful for our close relationship with Reformed University Fellowship at Tennessee Technological University. Our desire is to see to men, women, boys, and girls become disciples of Jesus Christ, walking by faith, in a manner worthy of the holy calling with which they have been called.

I covet your prayers as I seek to preach passionately, pray particularly, and pastor purposefully. If there are any questions I can answer for you, please don’t hesitate to call me at 931-537-6400. To God alone be the glory! He is sovereign!

In the King’s Service,
Caleb Cangelosi, Pastor
