Five small children and two young adults were members of a small rural church in Fulton, MO.  it was here God spoke concerning public ministry and the name of the church, God’s Creation Worship Center to Eric and Linda Petrie. The ministry officially opened its doors under the direction and inspiration of the Holy Spirit on December 3. 1994, in Fort Wayne, IN.  The name God’s Creation was the name of the Choir in which Eric and Linda Petrie were a part of in the early 80’s (Revelation 3:14b)

Here at the ministries of God’s Creation Worship Center (G.C.W.C) we believe in public as well as private worship.  We feel that one should be inspired rather than entertained.  When worship is preformed in sincerity and freedom the anointing becomes contagious! Pastor Petrie and his lovely wife Linda understood early in their ministry that God wanted his spiritual as well as the natural family to worship him.  Furthermore, you will find unconditional worship here at G.C.W.C.  The focus and emphasis of G.C.W.C is that we maintain a spirit of worship in the home and community.

G.C.W.C. is a family centered church.  In an atmosphere of love and worship we learn and develop the interpersonal skills to love, forgive and accept others within and without the local church.  We should live life on a spiritual plain because it enables us to handle life’s difficulties, upsets and backsets with grace and strength.  Certainly family living entails and requires and attitude of worship (John 4:24)
