Who We Are

What We Believe

Our chief aim is to glorify our Savior, even Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us that:

  • He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works
  • We should show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness into His marvelous light
  • We may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke

In the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom we shine as lights in the world. Holding forth the Word of Life, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death; to guide their feet into the way of peace. (See Acts2:38, Titus 2:13, 14; I Peter 2:9; Philippians 2:15, 16; Luke 1:79).

The Authority and Power of the Bible

We affirm the divine inspiration, truthfulness, and authority of both Old and New Testament Scriptures in their entirety as the only written word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We also affirm the power of God's word to accomplish his purpose of salvation. The message of the Bible is addressed to all men and women. For God's revelation in Christ and in Scripture is unchangeable. Through it, the Holy Spirit still speaks today. He illuminates the minds of God's people in every culture to perceive its truth freshly through their own eyes and thus discloses to the whole Church ever more of the many-colored wisdom of God.

(II Tim. 3:16; II Pet. 1:21; John 10:35; Isa. 55:11; 1 Cor. 1:21; Rom. 1:16, Matt. 5:17,18; Jude 3; Eph. 1:17,18; 3:10,18)

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.

OUR CHURCH

GGT is a 6,000 member church located in Northwest Detroit in the complex known as The City of David. Founded in 1927, Greater Grace Temple has long been a spiritual pillar of the Motor City.

DRESS CODE?

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.

All of our lots are monitored daily by our friendly uniformed church security personnel, who are happy to assist you with parking.

OUTREACHES
