From that point on The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been faithfully proclaimed in the Eagle Heights Community of Elgin, IL. On August 7, 2016 Elgin Community Church became Greater Grace Community Church of Elgin to reflect the recent bonding of Elgin Community Church with Greater Grace Church of Elgin together as one church as well our desire to affiliate with Greater Grace World Outreach whose home base is located in Baltimore, MD. Our Pastor Jack T. Wheatley, III was unanimously elected Lead Pastor and Presiding Elder on April 24, 2016. Pastor Jack was called to ministry at a Greater Grace Men's retreat in Youngstown, OH in 1998 as he was finishing up his B.A. in Finance from North Central College (Naperville, IL). Pastor Jack received his Bachelors of Biblical Studies from Maryland Bible College and Seminary in 2009. https://www.ggcc.church/whats-next daily 0.75 2022-01-04 https://www.ggcc.church/our-ministry-partners daily 0.75 2021-12-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61bcf20b4370b025206a088a/53eebe3e-8d60-46ed-aa56-b4f517fdb050/ggwo-logo-NO-world-wide-local-church-800-111-png.png Our Ministry Partners - greater grace world outreach is a multi-faceted hub of spiritual activity and vitality which functions as: A Local Church which also functions as a global HQ for GGWO.
