In June of 1981 a group of believers met in the home of Fred and Darlene Wise in Hummelstown, PA to form a new congregation. There were 12 people that first Sunday. This gathering would quickly outgrow the Wise's home and begin to look for a rental facility. The church chartered under the name of Grace & Truth Bible Church.
Pastor Tom would work the night shift at AMP Inc. of Harrisburg for a couple of years while working to build and grow the church during the day. God richly blessed this new work which saw steady growth during those early years.
In 1983 and 1984 Grace & Truth Bible Church took a leading role in organizing a summer Tent Revival in Hershey, PA. The use of the land was donated by Hess Ford on the location of what is now the Giant Food Store on Route 743. Dr. Joe Boyd and Dr. Randy Taylor were brought in for a joint effort tent revival among the independent churches in the Harrisburg area.
