60 Years Later…
We have been blessed to see God’s hand upon this ministry. He has proven to be ever faithful to us. Countless thousands of souls have been saved and scores of God’s people have been challenged and prepared for service in God’s Kingdom.
Sixteen churches are established, lives have been changed. Relationships have been restored. All of this and more has been accomplished through the grace of God, the power of His Spirit, and the prayers and support of His people. Our mission is to continue to Plant Churches, Prepare Leaders, and Proclaim the Gospel ’til The Whole World Hears.
Dr. Tony Hart
President of GOGF Ministries
Under the leadership of Dr. B. Sam Hart and a board of brethren who sought the guidance of the Holy Spirit, GOGF Ministries was established in 1961 as a faith Home Missionary Ministry. Its mission is to Plant Churches, Prepare Leaders, and Proclaim the Gospel, ‘Til the Whole World Hears. This is done in several ways:
Our weekly half-hour radio broadcast The Grand Old Gospel Hour is heard nationwide and around the world.
As resources permit, scholarships are made available through our Brad-Ferne Hart Memorial Fund.
The Lord has guided us to have seen 15 New Testament Churches, which are still providing vital ministry in urban centers along the east coast.
Our overseas mission’s emphasis is on training pastors through conferences held quarterly in the third world countries and providing short-term missions opportunities to believers as they join us in support of the mission.
We support orphan children at the Hart Children’s Home in India & Jamaica W.I..
We also provide other ministries such as Seminars, Retreats, Pastoral gatherings, Crusades.
Dr. B. Sam Hart is responsible for the birth and conception of the Grand Old Gospel Fellowship. The idea was conceived in 1953 while he was a junior in Gordon College in Boston, MA. Seeing the need for Bible Churches, and observing the lack of them among the Black population, the idea of Church Planting was conceived, which gave birth to a Bible Study in his home, and which became Roxbury Gospel Chapel by 1955, and is still functioning. By an urgent invitation Dr. Hart and his wife Joyce were transplanted from Boston to Philadelphia. The spiritual needs seemed greater in Philadelphia, and he and his wife set out to meet them. God blessed their efforts, and in 1960 The Grand Old Gospel Fellowship was formed and incorporated in 1961.
Dr. Tony Hart was born in 1954 to home missionary parents Dr. & Mrs. B. Sam Hart. He was born in Boston and the family moved to Philadelphia while Tony was still in pre-school.
