ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION VIRGINIA

Grace 5 Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ was organized and approved by the Church of God in Christ General Board and General Assembly in November of 2018. Bishop Dwight L.

Today there are a variety of ministry approaches to win the lost; and Grace 5 is open to the unique ministries that target different demographics of our community. Some of our churches are traditional, others are contemporary, while others are hybrids.

The common denominator is our faith. We believe that man can be saved by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord. Man can live a holy life through the power and baptism of the Holy Ghost. As believers we have an obligation to share our testimony with others; and we vow to share our treasury with our beloved Savior and Redeemer to promote the gospel ministry. The ministry of Grace 5 operate through the fivefold ministry gifts given to the church by Jesus with signs and wonders following, divine healing, deliverance, miracles, and discipleship.
