In early 2004, God led Pastor and Kristy Edwards to Charlotte, North Carolina, the seventh fastest growing city in America, to establish Grace Baptist Church. Over the years, God has mightily blessed the church and it has grown with many saved and baptized. God enabled Grace Baptist Church to purchase ten acres of property, and completed their own building in 2014 and at that time renamed their church Graceway Baptist Church. The Edwards family have devoted themselves to their church family and surrounding community.
