Greenville Community Christian Church was founded in 1982 and has been growing and reaching the world for Christ.
Greenville Community Christian Church is a Spirit-filled Word church with the purpose of edifying saints and bringing deliverance upon every person’s life who comes in contact with our teachings. Pastor James D. Corbett delivers the Word from a practical point of view.
With God’s anointing, Pastor Corbett has a way of explaining Biblical principles with real-life experiences. His side journeys and scriptural references will give you clear understanding and revelation.
GCCC had humble beginnings. In March of 1982, with a congregation of three families, Pastor Corbett and our beloved late Pastor Delores held service in their home, with Pastor Corbett preaching and teaching the adults while Pastor Delores taught the children. The “Door of Faith” radio broadcast was GCCC’s first Outreach Ministry and within eighteen months, Community Christian Church moved to its new location on 1203 W. 14th St where the church experienced continuous growth.
At the 14th Street location, the GCCC choir was formed, consisting of many members. Shortly after, a book table started Community Christian Church Bookstore. In December of 1985, GCCC moved to another location, Highway 11 South, due to phenomenal growth.
Within five years, two Sunday morning services were needed to accommodate the worshippers. In April 1990, Community Christian Church moved to its present location, 1104 N. Memorial Drive. Today we are still growing and reaching the world for Christ.

While serving in the United States Army, Pastor Corbett experienced a new beginning.
In 1977, he was born again and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1978. After eight years of active duty in the military, God called Pastor Corbett into the ministry. He left the military and moved to Greenville, North Carolina. Pastor Corbett attended Pitt Community College where he was a two-time honor graduate. He later achieved a BSA degree in Accounting from East Carolina University in Greenville and received employment as a Loan Bank Officer. In 1985, Pastor Corbett transitioned from his banking career to full-time ministry. Pastor Corbett received his Doctor of Biblical Studies and Doctor of Divinity Degree from World Christian College Council in Fresno, California on December 4, 1994. Pastor Corbett is currently the district director for the International Convention of Faith Ministries. God gave Pastor Corbett a vision to minister to the whole man; spirit soul, and body. The vision includes reaching communities with the gospel and taking the message of Jesus Christ around the world. Pastor Corbett is fulfilling that vision through practical teaching of the Word of God, through Men, Women and Singles Fellowships, daily radio and television broadcasts, teaching CDs and supplementary books. His CDs are widely distributed throughout the United States. He has also authored three books, Men of Honor, Tithing the Tithe, and Honoring Your Husband-Honoring Your Wife. Pastor Corbett also is the author of a monthly devotional entitled “A Word in Season”. The vision also includes mass media presentation, training centers and schools for ministry, programs for the disadvantaged, and a Christian school. Pastor Corbett has five children and fourteen wonderful grandchildren. On February 23, 2013, Pastor James D. Corbett and Sister Sarah A Perkins were united in Holy matrimony. It is Pastor Corbett's desire to continue to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with signs and wonders confirming the preaching of God's Word.
