John Davis
John and his wife Dawn moved to Powelton Village in August 2009 to start Grace Church of Philly in University City. John is the lead pastor at Grace. He was born and raised in Philly and believed it was time to come ``home`` and invest his life planting churches in Philly. John has been senior pastor for over 40 years planting churches in Buckingham, PA and Queens, NY and serving two other churches in Brooklyn NY and Roslyn, PA. John and Dawn have been married for 41 years and have five children and 12 grandchildren.
I serve the Lord Jesus Christ as one of the pastors in Grace Church Philly with my wife and two children. Before coming to the USA, I served as a senior pastor in more than 20 churches in Cameroon under the Full Gospel Mission of Cameroon. Here in Philadelphia, I have been serving for more than 7 years under the leadership of John Davis. As a pastor, I preach on Sundays from time to time, conduct bible studies in French on Wednesdays, and outreach once a month on Saturdays. Twice or thrice a year, a team of pastors, me included, we go the Cameroon for missionary work, to train local pastors and equip them for ministry. Recently, my wife and I decided to launch a ministry to the women and children, boys and girls, to empower them to use natural and local resources to improve their quality of lives; we added to that a Tabitha ministry that my wife has been leading for many years. 
Bill and Patsy are missionaries at Cornerstone Community Church in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Cornerstone is a church they planted with two other missionary couples in drug-infested, poverty-stricken, inner-city neighborhood. Their diverse church strives to meet physical, social, and spiritual needs through evangelistic outreaches, recovery ministries, a food cupboard, after-school programs, Bible studies, a thrift shop, family nights, block parties, camps, children’s ministries, etc.. Cornerstone grew out of the Teen Club ministry Bill started in 1980. He is the lead pastor at Cornerstone. He does the typical jobs of pastor-preaching, administration, oversee staff, counseling, visitation, baptisms, etc. Bill and Patsy lead the Kids Club and help run the monthly Family Night outreach.
