Pastor Rob and Toni Gore

Rob and Toni Gore reside in McKinney, Texas with their two children Natalie and Jonathan. In May of 2000, while Rob and Toni were attending Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth, the Holy Spirit directed Rob and Toni to begin teaching the Word of God in their home. This home group and it's fine members became the foundation for Faith Fellowship Church. From May 2000 until January 2002 Rob and Toni attended New Life Family Fellowship in Caddo Mills under Pastor Butch Bruton. Pastor Butch graciously agreed to license Rob as a minister of the Gospel and continues to be a significant blessing and influence to Rob and Toni as their pastor.

Rob and Toni have been actively reaching out to people with the message of Jesus Christ since they met in February 1981. Both grew up in the word of God for many years at Lakewood Church under Pastor John Osteen. Married in 1983, Rob and Toni have worked together as worship leaders, teachers, and as helpers in many various evangelical outreaches. Both have a sincere desire to reach out to people everywhere that do not know the love of Jesus, and to see believers discover who they are in Christ Jesus and how to live a victorious life without fear in their covenant rights and privileges.
