Pastor Manny and his wife Molly
These two are fun-loving, welcoming leaders who invite everyone into their family and the life of the church. They have a deep passion for God’s Word and for teaching it in ways that inspire, challenge, and equip people to live out their faith every day.
They love encouraging youth, mentoring the next generation to follow Jesus with confidence and joy. Over the years, they have planted churches in South Africa, helped launch churches in the Philippines, and seen many of their disciples continue the work—building new churches in other countries like Namibia. Their ministry has a lasting global impact, yet they remain deeply committed to nurturing local community, celebrating gifts, and walking alongside people in their spiritual journey.
With hearts full of joy, vision, and excitement, Manny and Molly are passionate about helping people grow deeper in the Word, discover their gifts, and experience God’s Spirit moving in real and practical ways. They believe church is not just a place to attend, but a family to belong to and a mission to live out together.
What Sets Us Apart
Presence Over Performance
“Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” — Matthew 18:20
We believe church is not about a building, a stage, or perfection — it’s about God’s presence among His people. Like the early church, we gather simply, authentically, and expectantly, trusting that Jesus meets us where we are.
Faith Lived Together
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship… breaking bread in their homes.” — Acts 2:42
We believe faith is meant to be shared, not siloed. Church isn’t just something we attend — it’s a family we belong to. We gather beyond Sundays, sharing meals, life, prayer, and joy, walking together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Sent to Love Others
“Go and make disciples of all nations.” — Matthew 28:19
We believe the church does not exist for itself. Jesus sends us outward — to love, serve, and share hope with those beyond our walls, meeting people where they are with grace and truth.
Some of Our History
Greater Grace World Outreach (GGWO) began under the leadership of Carl H. Stevens Jr., rooted in a passion for teaching God’s Word, training leaders, and sharing the gospel. In 1987, the ministry moved its headquarters to Baltimore, Maryland, where it became known as GGWO.
From Baltimore, the church grew into a global movement, supporting local churches, missions, and ministries around the world. GGWO also established Maryland Bible College & Seminary to equip pastors, missionaries, and leaders to serve both locally and internationally.
Today, GGWO continues to follow God’s call—building community, sending leaders, and proclaiming Jesus across cultures. We are proud to carry forward this story of faith, service, and global vision.
