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.
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.
Everything we do flows from a singular, God-given purpose — to see lives transformed by the grace of God.
To see lives transformed as we believe that God is the great changer of human lives. Our church exists to bring people into a life-changing encounter with the Grace of God and equip them to impact their world.
A non-denominational, multicultural, multinational, and multiethnic church — reflecting the full beauty of the body of Christ — reaching every nation, tribe, and tongue with the Gospel of Grace.
We are rooted in Scripture, committed to prayer, passionate about worship, and devoted to one another. We believe in radical generosity, multicultural unity, and the transforming power of God's Word in every life.
"God is the great changer of human lives. Our singular purpose is to see lives transformed."
Dr. A.A. Ajim is the Senior Pastor and founder of Grace International Church. His vision for the church was birthed during his residency training at a South Bronx hospital in New York City, where he began hosting prayer meetings with just two families.
Together with his wife, Dr. Alice Ajim, they have built a thriving multicultural church family spanning three continents. Their combined ministry has touched thousands of lives across Houston, New York, and Lagos.
