Who we are
Who We Are and What We Do
Our community life revolves around our worship service – it is the most important thing we do all week.
We believe Jesus Christ truly is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, so we seek to know Him and to follow Him.
We learn more about Jesus through God’s revelation in His Word, the Bible, and we seek to apply what God has said to all our experiences.
We are privileged to be called a “church” and our church identity is firmly rooted in the historic Christian faith.
Our faith is an inherited faith and so we seek to honor our spiritual heritage in everything we do.

Leader Bio:
Our pastor was born in 1962, the fourth of five children, in Amarillo, TX and was raised a Roman Catholic. It was at age 17, through the circumstances of his parent’s divorce, that God brought him to faith. God used a number of men and his local church, Christ Covenant, OPC to begin to grow him in his faith.
After a couple of years in the restaurant business, he joined the staff of Young Life in Amarillo as student staff, while he pursued his degree in History at West Texas A&M. He graduated college in 1990 and was brought on full-time staff with Young Life in Amarillo.
In 1991, he moved to Jacksonville, FL where he began a youth ministry for a relatively new PCA church, Christ Church. He spent four years in Jacksonville and it was here where God brought to him his wife.
Kyle married Lizzie in December of 1994 and moved to Philadelphia, PA in May of 1995 to pursue his theological education.
While in seminary, Kyle and Lizzie welcomed their first daughter, Katie, in 1997. Kyle graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary in 1999 with a Masters of Divinity (M.Div), with an emphasis in Pastoral Counseling.
In October of 1999, while Kyle was serving as Director of Admissions at Westminster, Caroline, their second daughter was born.
In September of 2000, Kyle accepted a call as associate pastor of Holy Trinity Presbyterian Church in Tampa, FL. In January of 2002 the Oliphint’s welcomed their third covenant daughter, Kelly.
In December of 2004 Kyle and family moved to Fort Worth to begin the work of planting and organizing Grace Community Presbyterian Church, PCA.
On January 2nd, 2005 the brand new church had it’s first worship service.
Our pastor is committed to both the public and private ministry of the Word of God for the growth and sanctification of God’s people. His prayer is that the gospel of Jesus Christ and particularly His cross will shape and form his shepherding ministry and the ministry of Grace Community Presbyterian Church, PCA. Please do not hesitate to give him a call if there is anything he can do for you. We hope you will visit our church and worship with us as we together, with Kyle, submit ourselves to God in service to one another.

Grace Community Presbyterian Church History
Grace Community Presbyterian Church had its first worship service on January 2nd, 2005, which was held in a strip mall located on Highway 377 in Watauga, TX. This church actually began in the hearts and minds of a group of people years before as they began meeting in a home in north Ft. Worth. Because of their love for the doctrines of grace and their perseverance and God’s good providence, Grace Community Presbyterian Church now exists.
Grace Community Presbyterian Church began as a church plant of Ft. Worth Presbyterian Church. It was the Session and pastoral staff of Ft. Worth Presbyterian Church that provided support, encouragement and oversight of this new church through August of 2006. This relationship was officially recognized at the installation service the evening of February 13th, 2005 at Grace Community Presbyterian Church, which was meeting at Premier Academy, a Christian Day School located in north Ft. Worth.
Our first year together, 2005, brought much change. Our attendance doubled, we purchased 6 acres in north Ft. Worth, we raised 80% of the money needed to begin our first phase building project and we hired an architect and moved forward with our plans.
God continued to grow us in 2006. We nominated men for leadership in June of that year, elected them in August and were organized as a particular church of the Presbyterian Church of America on August 13th, 2006, at a service of Organization and Particularization held at Bette Perot Elementary School located in north Ft. Worth.
In the early part of 2008 our church called Tom Browning as our assistant pastor.
After a year of training and the prayerful consideration of the members of Grace Community Presbyterian Church, 3 new ruling elders and four new deacons were ordained and installed in early 2010. As our body, staff and leadership grew, Grace Community Presbyterian Church also started construction on their new building in August of 2006.
We had our first worship service in our new building on September 30, 2007. By God’s grace and through the generosity of His people, we were able to pay off the note of our building in December of 2009.
As this church has continued to experience God’s blessings in amazing ways, she began a building expansion project in the last quarter of 2011.
It was completed in December 2012. With this expansion, we were able to double our square footage. In addition to many new classrooms, we are able to seat about 400 in our chapel. We are committed to not growing beyond what our current and final space can accommodate. It is our conviction that this would be as large as we would want our congregation to grow, so that we can continue to minister faithfully to one another. If we grow in numbers beyond what our new worship space and building can hold, our hope is to plant one or more daughter churches in surrounding areas.
In the early part of 2014, we were able to call our second assistant pastor, Davis Morgan.
The summer of 2014 we had the opportunity to build a large kitchen. We eat together once a month after our worship service and this kitchen has provided us the space and equipment to host these large lunches. At the same time we were able to provide for our growing families a first rate playground. This was something our many children had been asking for since we occupied our first phase building in 2007.
In December of 2015 we paid off all loans regarding our building expansion and new kitchen. Because of the generosity of the people of Grace Community Presbyterian Church, we began 2016 completely debt free.
We also completed a pavilion in late 2017, believing it will serve our people well for years to come.
In June of 2017 we ordained and installed our newest officers. This is another wonderful provision of our God for this particular church.
And again, God brought us 5 men in 2018 who we trained throughout the year in 2019 and ordained in December of 2019.
Davis Morgan, our Associate Pastor of Families and Youth accepted a call to be the solo pastor of Westside Church in Colorado Springs, a post he assumed February 16 of 2020.
To our delight and with much thanksgiving, we called Andrew Sarnicki as our Assistant Minister. He joined us on April 1, 2020 and was ordained and installed as our Assistant Minister on August 23, 2020. To see what an ordination and installation service looks like in our denomination, the Presbyterian Church in America, you can watch the service from August 23, 2020.
God has blessed us with a facility that is used by our presbytery for women’s retreats, our presbytery meetings and other PCA functions. There is also a homeschool Co-op that meets every Thursday for classes during the school year.
Throughout our history we have sought and will continue to seek to provide opportunities for pastoral interns to serve alongside us as they are considering vocational ministry.
God has blessed us immensely with members who serve, leaders and a facility; all of which bring glory to His name.
We realize that the history recounted here is another way of retelling the story He is writing. If you are so inclined, please pray for this church as we seek to be faithful to God in the place where He has placed us.
