Pastor Gary and Michelle George

Gary George grew up in an Albanian Orthodox Church in Worcester, Ma. and was born again in his senior year at Holy Cross College in 1975 where he was a Religious Studies Major. He was married in 1977 and has 5 children. Gary's first 16 years after conversion were among those known as Plymouth Brethren. He did itinerant preaching among various Brethren Assemblies throughout Canada and the Northeast. 

Gary began 'Open Air Evangelism' with a permit from the city on the Worcester Common in 1982 till 2005. He also taught and preached in prisons, nursing homes, apologetic ministries and overseas. Gary attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary from '86-'87 and began pastoring Sovereign Grace Chapel in Southbridge, Ma. in 1992, which was formerly called Grace Reformed Baptist Church -which started in 1991 in Charlton Ma.

Gary's style of preaching is expositional, reformed in soteriology and New Covenant in theology, with strong emphasis on scripture memorizing (Gary has memorized over 3,000 verses). Pastoral compassion with his flock and working collaboratively with his co-elder/pastors is also a high priority. Gary has been living in Leicester, Ma since 1987.

An Evangelical’s Creed - from Pastor Gary George

I believe in the one true and living God who exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: equal in substance and in power. He is the eternal creator and sustainer of all things visible and invisible, and he is the one by whom all humankind will be judged at Jesus’ future second coming.

I believe that in the fullness of time, the Father sent the Son to redeem a people he had chosen before time began. The sacrifice of Christ on the cross satisfied God’s holy justice; by his shed blood he atoned for all my sins and saved me from eternal, conscious punishment in Hell and in the lake of fire.

I believe that God used his infallible, inerrant, and inspired Scriptures, accompanied by the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit, to awaken me from my spiritual deadness, which from birth to my new birth characterized me and kept me alienated from my maker. I believe that the gospel of God’s grace is to be proclaimed freely to all people without distinction.

I believe that my salvation is not attributable to my prayer, my works, my will, my baptism, or to any other religious endeavor, but is through faith alone, in Christ alone, by grace alone, and to the glory of God alone. By the Holy Spirit’s working in me, and by my consequent growth in grace, I will persevere to the end of my earthly journey. I have assurance that heaven will be my eternal home and that my union with Christ, my Lord and my head, will never be broken in time or eternity.
