About Us

Grace Church is part of a growing family of more than 90 Christian churches – spread across the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, and Australia – which are joined together under the banner of Sovereign Grace Ministries.

With other Sovereign Grace Ministries churches we share:

• A vision to establish and support local churches
• A passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ
• A commitment to our doctrinal distinctives
• A desire to see the members of these churches glorify God in their public and private lives.

As part of its commitment to equip and develop local churches, Sovereign Grace Ministries:

• Provides a number of resources (such as books, teaching, and music)
• Holds conferences (small group, worship, leadership, NEXT, etc.)
• Trains new leaders in their Pastors College.

Sovereign Grace partners to varying degrees with pastors and church-planting networks in 21 countries. You can get an overview of our gospel partnership and international involvement from here.

Since our inception in 1982, Sovereign Grace Ministries has been overseen by a team of men, led by C.J.Mahaney (pictured right), with extensive experience and proven ability in starting, pastoring and overseeing churches.

Here in the UK there are currently two other Sovereign Grace Churches:

Led by senior pastor Pete Greasley, Christchurch was founded in 1995, is based in Newport, South Wales and was the first Sovereign Grace church in the UK.  For more information visit their website.

Led by senior pastor Gareth Lloyd, Sovereign Grace Church was planted into Merthyr Tydfil in June 2005, and serves that town and the surrounding valleys of South Wales.  For more information visit their website.
