About | Showers of Blessing Christian Center

ABOUT US

In June 1989, the Lord Spoke to Dr. Grant about establishing a church that would be independent of denominational ties. A church that would allow the Holy Spirit to operate as He chooses; a church that would teach the Word to His people uncompromisingly. On November 5,1989 Showers of Blessing Christian Center was born.

The ministry started with just 5 members at the YWCA, 215 Lexington St. in the city of Rocky Mount, NC. Four months later on March 11, 1990, the ideal facility was founded at 406 Cokey Road. The facility was paid in 5 1/2 years DEBT FREE.

The congregation grew tremendously and the church quickly outgrew one service so Dr. Grant added additional services. In 2003 the congregation walked to the new location to claim victory over the new land God had promised at 1740 East Raleigh Blvd. A building that seated over 1,000 believers.

God has truly taken the ministry of Showers Of Blessing Christian Center from faith to faith and from glory to glory.

SBCC is a Ministry of Excellence Impacting Nations with a Practical Message of FAITH, Empowering WORD Hungry people to experience and Exemplify the God Quality of Life.

We cannot physically touch all of you with the love of God, but Dr. Bernard Grant's mission is to see you prosper in every area of your life; Spirit, Soul, and Body. This Ministry was designed with you in mind, because we know that the Word Works When You Work The Word!
