THE CHRISTIAN CITY STORY

Beginning with a small group of believers meeting in downtown Sealy,
TX in 1976, Christian City Fellowship (formerly Sealy Assembly of God)
has grown into a vibrant, multicultural body of worshipers from many
surrounding counties. In November 1991, Pastors Rusty and Anne Griffin
began serving as lead pastors, building upon the foundation laid by
founding pastors Clyde and Joyce Drake. During their first 12 years,
Pastors Rusty and Anne worked with leaders within the church to
create a culture of discipleship, prayer, and worship. In addition, strong
relationships with apostolic and prophetic voices were built, which still
serve as voices in the church today.
In 2003, the church officially changed its name to Christian City
Fellowship and began construction on a new 40,000-square-foot
facility. The new building opened in March 2004, which not only
brought a tremendous momentum shift to the congregation but also
forced the church to sharpen its focus as a place where God is “Making
New and Making Great!” Since then, the church’s outreach efforts have

transitioned from primarily on-campus events to neighborhood, home-
based gatherings, community outreaches and events.

Christian City Fellowship continues to reach not only the city of Sealy
but the entire region with the Gospel of Jesus. We truly are a place
where the hungry and thirsty can settle and reap a harvest. Like Pastor
Rusty says, “You can’t live in a 20-mile radius of Sealy without knowing
who we are!” We are thankful for what God has done in our past and
more excited about what He will do in the coming decades.

SEALY, TX

Nestled at the intersection of Interstate 10, U.S. Highway 90, Texas Highway 36, and main lines for the BNSF and Union Pacific
Railroads, Sealy is the economic hub of Austin County. It also is the county’s largest city. Our prime location allows quick access to
major metropolitan areas and key transport corridors while providing a relaxing, semi-rural atmosphere for you and your
family. Sealy has the best of both worlds as we are a small town, family community that is only 20 minutes from Katy, TX, and less
than an hour from Houston. You can also be fishing in one of our top-rated lakes within 30 minutes or on Galveston beach in less
than two hours!
Sealy’s family-friendly culture and quality of life is a hidden gem all on it’s own. Our city parks, recreational facilities, restaurants,
public and private schools (including the nationally acclaimed Blinn College), along with very affordable housing costs make
Sealy one of South Texas’ best kept secrets.
