Pastor Norm Peart
Dr. Norman Peart is the founding pastor of Grace Bible Fellowship. Pastor Norm, as he is known as Grace, his wife Carolyn, and their four sons have lived in North Carolina since 1994
A deep love for preaching and teaching the Bible, and seeing it transform lives led Pastor Norm to intensely prepare for ministry resulting in his obtaining two Master’s Degrees (Master of Divinity and Master of Theology). His desire to see Christianity be both relevant and significant in contemporary culture led him to obtain a PhD in the areas of Sociology/Urban Studies from Michigan State University. He presently teaches at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Associate Pastor Jim Law
I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama and received Christ as my Savior when I was nine years old. I joined the United States Air Force at 21 and was sent to Saudi Arabia at the end of Desert Storm. While there, I was convicted by God’s Word to live for Jesus and forsake the ungodly lifestyle I was living.
When I got returned to the states I attended a little church off base where I met my future wife, Debbie. We were married in 1994 and we now have four wonderful children. In 2000, God led me to leave the Air Force and attend Bible College. I graduated from Northland Baptist Bible College in 2006, with a BA in Pastoral Studies and began looking for a church where God would have me serve.
Leaving the frozen tundra of Northern Wisconsin, we accepted the call to Grace Bible Fellowship in September, 2007. I have a deep, heartfelt desire to work with and disciple the youth of Grace Bible Fellowship. My prayer is that they would not only come to a saving knowledge of Christ but also want to serve Him for the rest of their lives in whatever capacity Christ leads them to.

Wesley and Veronica Hardy - Ministers of Music
As ministers of music we have had the privilege to praise and experience God through the medium of music. God has given us this wonderful moment in history to realize the depth of His love. It’s humbling to realize that the heart of God longs for each of us as individuals to cry out to Him. When your heart reaches out to God in worship, it is a very personal experience. We pray that your longing for Jesus grows deeper as your revelation of His greatness grows greater.
