About Us

WHY WE EXIST

We fulfill our mission by Fellowshipping with God, uniting the Family of God, witnessing our Faith, and setting sinners Free.

Grace Church International exists to glorify God by transforming lives through the power of the Gospel. We are a community where individuals can encounter God’s love, experience healing and deliverance, and grow in their God-given purpose. Rooted in faith, we are committed to making disciples, raising leaders, and expanding the Kingdom of God through local outreach, global missions, and unwavering service to our community.

At Grace Church International, we are more than a church—we are a movement dedicated to bringing hope, healing, and restoration to the nations. Guided by faith and fueled by a deep love for people, we stand as a witness to God’s promises fulfilled and as a beacon of light in a world in need of His grace.

Fellowshipping with God

We prioritize creating opportunities for individuals to deepen their relationship with God through vibrant worship services, dynamic prayer gatherings, and immersive Encounter God Weekends. These moments allow believers to connect with God’s presence, hear His voice, and experience spiritual renewal.

Uniting the Family

We foster a strong sense of community by providing spaces for meaningful connection and fellowship. From small groups to family-focused events, we cultivate an environment where believers can build lasting relationships and support one another in their faith journey.

Witnessing Our Faith

We are passionate about proclaiming the Gospel through local outreach, community service, and global missions. Grace has hosted local gospel crusades and participated in international missions in countries like Brazil, Poland, Kenya, Tanzania, and as of 2025 Pakistan.

Setting Sinners Free

We believe in the power of deliverance, healing, and restoration. Through Encounter God Weekends, altar ministries, and pastoral counseling, we provide spaces for individuals to find freedom from spiritual and emotional burdens. By teaching the truth of God’s Word and guiding individuals into a personal relationship with Jesus, we empower people to walk in their God-given purpose, free from the chains of sin and bondage.

Our Story

Grace Church International was founded on March 4, 2001, as Grace Missionary Baptist Church, beginning humbly in the garage of Wheatfall Daycare in Northeast Houston. Established by Pastor Derrick Davis, Tamara Davis, and other faithful leaders, the church grew quickly, moving within six months to the Farrington Church building. There, Grace became a hub for discipleship, leadership training, and community outreach, impacting countless lives and baptizing many new believers.

In 2010, Grace purchased land for its future home and, by 2012, transitioned to Grace Church International, reflecting its expanding mission. The church has hosted local crusades and international missions in countries like Tanzania, Kenya, and Brazil while empowering individuals through Encounter God Weekends and the G Twelve discipleship model. Grace's commitment to spreading the Gospel has raised leaders, ordained pastors, and inspired youth to serve locally and globally.

In 2017, the ministry launched Project Manifestation, completing its sanctuary within six months and dedicating it in March 2018. Now celebrating over two decades, Grace remains steadfast in its mission to fellowship with God, unite His family, and proclaim freedom in Christ. With a legacy of faith and transformation, Grace Church International continues to build lives, leaders, and legacies for the Kingdom.

Our Pastors

Together, Pastors Derrick and Tamara Davis are a dynamic team committed to advancing the Gospel and building lives for the Kingdom of God. Their partnership in ministry reflects their shared vision to reach the unchurched, support missions locally and globally, and provide a space where individuals can encounter God’s transformative love.

​

They are also proud parents to their three children, Derrick Jr. (Jessica), Tameka, and Derius (Trinity). As a family, they are dedicated to serving God and living out their faith in every aspect of their lives. Their children are a testament to their legacy of love, faith, and commitment to God’s Kingdom, and they remain a source of pride and joy in their journey as parents and leaders.
