About Grace Covenant
Our story, our vision, and our shepherd
Our Story
Grace Covenant Church began in a small living room in Ikeja, Lagos in 2011, when Pastor Emmanuel Okafor and his wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Joy Okafor, answered God's call to raise a community of believers rooted in the Word and empowered by the Spirit.
What started with 12 faithful members has grown into a thriving congregation of over 3,000. By God's grace, we have planted branches in Abuja and Port Harcourt, and our online ministry reaches thousands across the globe.
🎯 Our Mission
To raise purpose-driven believers who impact their world through the knowledge of God's Word, the power of prayer, and acts of love.
🔭 Our Vision
A global community of believers walking in divine purpose, advancing the Kingdom of God in every sphere of influence.
