Grace International

A global family of churches that covers & connects pastors, plants churches, & equips leaders. In over eighty years of history, we have had four presidents. H.

Our founder, O.C. Harms was a visionary leader with an evangelistic mindset. His brother, R. Harms, became our second president, who being an organizer, added structure to the organization. Under his leadership, in 1979, the name of the organization was changed to Christian Evangelistic Assemblies as a reflection of our continued growth and expansion. The mantle of the organization was then passed

on to Orvel Taylor, who was installed as our third President. He was a relational leader who strove for an attitude of excellence in everything he and the organization did. Today, we are under the direction of our fourth President, Steve Riggle. Steve is a visionary and motivator. He is also the Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church, with over 15,000 active members on three campuses in Houston, TX; The Woodlands, TX; and Oceanside, CA. Globally, Grace International is currently serving over one hundred eighty thousand members, over twenty seven hundred churches, in almost 90 countries. We embrace a vision of continued expansion and growth on a national and international level. We expect multiplication of members, churches, and districts. Our vision includes the establishment of additional International Training Centers in strategic locations. Our vision is for the global community, yet we are committed to the importance of each individual member of Grace International. It is our goal to offer support, guidance, and credibility to each person involved. It is our desire to provide a strong foundation for ministry in today’s society through the relationships, resources and leadership of Grace International.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Missions Update

Our GI International Missions Director, Jon Burkley and our Apostolic Leader, Pastor Juan Carlos recently returned from their 6th trip to Ukraine since the war began in 2022.

In the middle of war, loss, and uncertainty, God is still moving:
- In Mykolaiv, Pastor Sergei continues feeding 50 elderly residents every day—many with no other source of help.
- Inside a Ukrainian prison, women studying the Gospel of Mark encountered the hope of Jesus. Twelve chose to be baptized, believed to be the first baptisms ever held inside a Ukrainian prison.
- Near the front lines, a village once devastated by artillery is beginning to show signs of hope—families gathering for worship, food being distributed, roofs being rebuilt, and a school preparing for restoration.

Pastor Slavic and our churches in Ukraine continue to serve faithfully, bringing both practical relief and the Good News of Jesus to those who need it most.

The war may no longer make headlines, but the need remains. Thank you for helping bring hope, healing, and the love of Christ to Ukraine. 🙏🏼

🇺🇸 In our nation, as it is in Heaven! 🙏🏼

Tomorrow, on The National Day of Prayer, leaders from across the greater Houston area—pastors, church leaders, and elected officials—are coming together for one purpose: to seek God on behalf of our nation. And we’d love to invite you!

Together, we’ll pray for healing in our land, and ask for wisdom, guidance, and strength for those leading our nation. This is more than a gathering—it’s a moment where the righteous call upon God, that we might see “earth, as it is in Heaven.”
