  • Greater Grace World Outreach (GGWO) is an affiliation of nondenominational, fundamentalist, evangelical Christian churches that emphasize grace, the finished work, and missions. The headquarters of Greater Grace World Outreach is currently located at its megachurch in Baltimore, Maryland. GGWO was founded by Carl H.

There are 472 Greater Grace churches in 68 countries. Most of these churches are located in North America, Europe and Africa, with larger congregations in Hungary, Azerbaijan and Ghana. Most of the pastors attended affiliated Maryland Bible College & Seminary in Baltimore, however there are many other affiliated bible colleges around the world. The ministries of Greater Grace also include the radio program Grace Hour, Greater Grace Christian Academy, Christian Sports Clubs & Verticalink. GGWO's auditorium at the church campus in Baltimore was newly renovated in 2007, and currently seats at full capacity 1,300 people, although typical weekly attendance including all the services is around 3,000.
