Our Story

About Grace
Int'l Church

From a prayer meeting of two families in a living room in New York, to a global church spanning three continents — this is the story of God's faithfulness.

A Vision Born in the
South Bronx

The vision of our Church was conceived in the heart of our Senior Pastor, Dr. A.A. Ajim, during his residency-training program at a South Bronx Hospital in New York City.

What began as a prayer meeting of two families in his living room soon became a fellowship of people with a strong desire and commitment to serving God and following after the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

The local Church, Grace Temple, was subsequently planted, holding her first Sunday morning service on January 4th, 1998, with an inaugural service later held on March 15th, 1998. Our Church has moved on from then, experiencing growth in every area of ministry.
