Under the leadership of Dr. B. Sam Hart and a board of brethren who seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, The Grand Old Gospel Fellowship was established in 1961 as a faith Home Missionary Ministry; with a goal of "Proclaiming the Word of Truth To a World in Trouble". This is done in several ways:

• Our weekly half-hour radio broadcast The Grand Old Gospel Hour is heard nationwide.
• As resources permit, scholarships are made available through our Brad-Ferne Hart Memorial Fund..
• The Lord has guided us to start over 15 New Testament Churches with our Church Planting ministry.
• Our Missionsministry has been used to take the Gospel and emergency needs to many places world-wide.
• We have started a children's home in Jamaica know as Harts Children's Home.
• We also provide many other Ministries such as: Youth Camps, Retreats, Bible Conferences, Family Seminars and Gospel Crusades.

Our Brethren:

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
