Visitor?

Welcome to Greater Grace Temple Church

Without question, we're a big church with a family atmosphere. Those who visit often tell us they feel loved and at home whenever they come to our services.  We do our best to let everyone know that they are truly special to God and special to us.   We invite you to experience Greater Grace Temple and allow the love of God to touch your life.  Indeed, you're always welcome here!

We understand a new church, especially a large one can feel overwhelming, so here is some information to help you get to know a little bit about us. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are men, women, children, plumbers, electricians, businessmen and women, students, teachers, bike riders, athletes, artists, young, and seasoned, but most of all we are family.

What We Believe

It is our desire to create disciple-making communities. We do this through reaching people, teaching them to love and serve Jesus, and sending them to reach, teach, and send others.

At Greater Grace Temple, we’re out to reach souls for the Kingdom of God, promoting a positive Gospel of life and salvation in Jesus Christ. We want to touch broken, hurting, and desperate lives with the love of God and the understanding that Christ came to give them life and that more abundantly.

WHAT TO WEAR?

We invite you to come as you are. Many people dress up for service, others wear business casual which seems to be most popular. The bottom line is that dress isn’t the issue. Instead get ready to experience a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere with open arms of God’s love.

PARKING

We have a wealth of parking space on site and in our outlying lots. Shuttle service is provided on Sundays and at special events from the outer lots to and from the church. All of our lots are monitored daily by our friendly uniformed church security personnel, who are happy to assist you with parking.  We even have personnel on golf carts to help those who are unable to walk long distances.

WHERE DO I SIT?
You are free to sit an any available seat.  If the service has already begun, an usher will help guide you. 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IN THE SERVICES?
Both services (7am and 11am) on Sundays are comprised of music or Fine Arts designed to lead you into praise and worship.  You are encouraged to stand, sit, raise your hands, clap and sing your heart out!  This is followed by prayer and then the preached word.  Our Senior Pastor, Bishop Charles H. Ellis III preaches the majority of our services.

PRAYER AND BAPTISM

During the “altar call” in the final moments of the service, prayer is available for anyone who desires it. In addition, ministers are available after the service to baptize those who desire it. No need to bring anything, we have everything that you’ll need. Our ministers will also explain to you about its importance and answer any questions you may have.

OUTREACHES

Creative outreach is the best way to describe this ministry. Our outreaches run the gamut from services in Cass Park to our illustrated sermons that have become a Motor City tradition. Our Back To School festival, Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway and Christmas Bicycle Giveaway are well known in the community.
