Dr. Leo Holt - Pastor & Founder

Dr. Leo Holt is Pastor and Founder of Grace Christian Fellowship Church

and Chief Executor of Grace Christian Academy. The church was founded

in 1989 and the Academy in 1991. He is President and Dean of Grace

Christian Fellowship Bible College, established in 1999. During his tenure

in ministry, Pastor Holt has witnessed tremendous growth in his church

congregation as well as the Academy. The church membership has

increased from 64 to approximately 1,500 members, and the Academy has

increased to approximately 200 students.

Pastor's Holt devotion to work of the ministry, coupled with his tenacity

for excellence, has not only brought him great favor and respect among

his congregation but also throughout the community. His motivational

broadcasts on two local radio stations and two local television stations

have garnered positive responses from the community involvement.

He shares the church and school facilities for events ranging from all-night basketball tournaments to carnivals.

A great portion of his vision is simply to help people of various races and cultures realize their full potential

and upgrade their standard of living. To a large extent, many of his goals have been accomplished through

the progression of the Church, Academy, and Bible College. One segment of his vision (which has not yet

come to fruition) extends to the elderly, who so often have been misplaced or forgotten by society and even

their family members. He plans to build a housing complex for the elderly, with recreational and other modern

conveniences. Such an environment will provide a haven of peace and allow them to mature gracefully.

Pastor Holt holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Administration, and a Masters and Doctorate in

Theology. He is associated with several local as well as national organizations. He is an Advisory Board

Member of Friends International Christian University. He is also affiliated with Crenshaw Christian Center,

founded by Dr. Frederick K.C. Price.

Pastor Holt and his wife, Dr. Alma Holt, are the proud parents of two daughters, Lydia and Melody.
