US Full Gospel Mission Grand Forks
Grand Forks ND

We are a multi-ethnic pentecostal Church, committed to raising and nurturing genuine disciples of the LORD JESUS CHRIST at a time when "another gospel" has infiltrated the Christian Church. We are devoted to seeking God for spiritual revival and restoration in these perilous times. Here, you will meet truly loving, hospitable, and Spirit-filled believers in CHRIST who are completely sold out to HIM and who serve HIM only for HIS sake.

We believe that what the Scripture says in Ephesians 3:21 " Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen" definitely applies today and that God's Glory ought to fill HIS Church permanently. Sadly, corruption of today's priesthood, compromise, worldliness, and prayerlessness have compelled the LORD to abandon HIS Church to reproach. US Full Gospel Mission in Grand Forks, North Dakota resulted from a burden to arise, shake off the dust of compromise, and seek the LORD while He may be found. If you are a thirsty soul seeking living waters from heaven, please come join us.

United States Full Gospel Mission (US FGM) is an extension of the Foreign Missions' Arm of the Full Gospel Mission in Cameroon (FGMC). FGMC was founded in 1961 by a German missionary couple, Werner and Helga Knorr. In 1959. Pa and Ma Knorr (as they are fondly called) arrived Calabar (Nigeria) from Germany, having responded to God's calling for missions work in Africa.

They soon moved to Uyo, in the then Cross River State, Nigeria. Guided by the Holy Spirit in 1961, the Knorrs again moved to neighboring Cameroon where they first settled in the small coastal town of Mutengene. Evangelistic efforts here soon led to the planting of the first FGMC Church. With other missionaries who later joined these labors from Europe and America, the work grew tremendously. From the very beginning, emphasis was laid on evangelism, holiness, and the training of Christian workers for effective ministry. To this effect, a Bible Training College was opened by FGMC in Bamenda, Cameroon in 1970. Today, FGMC has opened Churches in all ten regions of Cameroon and has over 2000 Pastors in the country.

In response to the commandment of our LORD JESUS CHRIST to make disciples of all the nations, the Foreign Missions' Department of FGMC began sending missionaries into other African countries (notably Nigeria, Chad, and Central African Republic. Congo) about a decade ago. More recently, the work has extended to Europe, Canada, and USA. Here in the USA, we are called United States Full Gospel Mission (US FGM). The work in the USA was started by children of FGMC who immigrated to the USA and later answered God's calling over their lives. The US FGM Church in Grand Forks ND started officially on Sunday December 30, 2012 in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Forlemu Neville, following three days of fasting and prayers. Prior to this time, the few families who constituted the nucleus of the Church met weekly for prayers and discipleship. It was the burden to make and nurture genuine disciples of the LORD JESUS CHRIST in a time when the Global Church has largely gone into apostasy that led us to eventually begin a Church.

Full Gospel Mission Cameroon (and her branches in other nations including US FGM) is committed to preaching and teaching the full gospel message, as revealed in the whole canon of Scripture, in the power of the Holy Spirit. We cannot express this burden in better words than does the Pioneer Missionary for FGMC, Werner Knorr, who writes as follows:

"Hosea, the Prophet of old, remarks in Hos. 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." What a weighty, what a scaring statement! But how true it has been in the times of the Old Testament, as well as during the Church's history in the New Testament! Wherever the knowledge of God in general, or His specific will in detail - as expressed in His word or His commandments - was obscured or ignored, what ensued for the people concerned, was disaster. But Hosea is not only addressing the people in general. In the following verses he also has a word for the priests, whom we call "ministers of God', "Church leaders", "preachers" or "elders", in our Church age. "Because you have rejected knowledge,- he says on behalf of God, "I also will reject you from being priests for Me; because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children."

Having a clear revelation and understanding of God, of the Lord Jesus Christ, of the Holy Spirit, and of the gospel as such, is for all God's people, and His servants in particular, of utmost importance. It was this consciousness that made us name our work from the very beginning "Full Gospel" Mission. It is another name often used for Pentecostal Churches but in our own understanding, it carries a far deeper meaning. It expresses our desire to abide with the entire word of God in its original, Spirit-inspired meaning. The gospel as found in the New Testament is not subject to cultural or modernistic changes.

Jude, speaking to believers at his time, makes this comment, "...I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.- Jude 3. We must by no means deviate from the straight path of gospel doctrines outlined by our Lord and His Apostles. Neither must we ignore some of them. What they taught is binding for the Church of Jesus Christ throughout the ages."
