p:abstract
  • Greater Grace World Outreach is an affiliation of evangelical churches that emphasize Grace, the Finished Work, and Missions. GGWO was founded by Carl H. Stevens Jr. The headquarters of Greater Grace World Outreach is currently located in Baltimore, Maryland and led by Thomas Schaller. The beliefs of Greater Grace are outlined in its doctrinal statement and detailed in booklets written by Carl H. Stevens. Worship is non-liturgical but generally includes prayer, singing, offerings, and sermons. Songs are usually contemporary, but services may also include classical hymns. Evangelism and raps, informal bible study, are also considered important acts of worship. Greater Grace is comprised of almost 500 churches from around the world, led by a pastor ordained by the Baltimore church. Most of these churches are located in New England, Europe and Africa. Some of the larger churches are located in Maryland, Hungary, Azerbaijan and Ghana. Most of the pastors are educated at Maryland Bible College & Seminary in Baltimore. However, there are many other affiliated bible colleges around the world. The ministries of Greater Grace also include Grace Hour, Greater Grace Christian Academy, Christian Sports Clubs & Verticalink. Greater Grace World Outreach has been part of several notable controversies including what would evolve into a landmark legal case regarding the undo influence of an heiress to the Dayton Hudson fortune, Elizabeth (Betsy) Dovydenas.. Later a set of controversies between 2003-2005 would escalate into a separation of many of the affiliated congregations from the organization. These congregations would form the International Association of Grace Ministries. (en)
