With its roots in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Sovereign Grace Church was initially known as People of Destiny International. Since that time in 1982, the ministry boasts more than 70 Sovereign Grace churches with partnerships in 21 countries. Sovereign Grace Ministries nurtures growth for all communities by offering areas with a safe places to preach and to worship. Sovereign Grace Ministries facilitates collaborations among pastors worldwide with an focus on church planting, and offers music, books, and other products to the public with their online shop. The ministry's mission mentions a goal of spreading the word of Jesus Christ properly, which to them starts with an focus on church planting. Church growing takes place when a pastor creates a Sovereign Grace Church in a new area. In order to produce and cultivate a effective church, every pastor has to participate in a training program to ensure that the church will flourish for years to come. Pastors that are interested in planting a church are able to complete a profile with the ministry, which will be assessed by the elders within the church. As soon as the application passes the preliminary approval stage, the pastor is placed in a training program. This 10-month Pastors' College helps prepare the pastor for the launch of his planted church. Sovereign Grace plants churches in various areas throughout the United States, Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Every year, the ministry hosts numerous special events geared at Christian worshipers. One of the most vital is the WorshipGod conference that is held biannually. Participants go over the theology, practice, and joy of God-honoring praise while spreading the word of Jesus Christ. In 2013, for the first time ever Sovereign Grace Ministries is hosting its WorshipGod conference on both the East and West coasts. The conference will concentrate on the idea of faithfulness, with a specific message for the worship team of a church. Because a prayer team works week in and week out, frequently without the thanks of a congregation, the conference is designed to encourage and influence them. Newer Sovereign Grace Ministries pastors are invited to the yearly Pastors' Conference where they can better understand the ministry's goal and values. These occasions are geared toward getting the word out about church planting. By holding these festivals and conferences in different cities each year, brand-new pastors in the location might become interested in applying for the program to produce and plant a church in an area that needs one. The ministry doesn't quit there. They also have a shop that people can get anything from songs to reading products and other church resources. The Sovereign Grace music area provides users with a big choice of spiritual music from different artists, and is even readily available in other languages. Reading materials available from the shop cover a large range of topics like marital relationship and self-improvement. The reading product is perfect for specific reading, or can be talked about with youth and adult church groups. So whether you're trying to find something to better comprehend your marital relationship or if you're leading a bible study group, many of the books in the Sovereign Grace Ministries' shop are a ideal fit.
