God’s Grace Ministries International (G2 Ministries) was established on May 4, 2020 during the worldwide Covid-19 Pandemic. Pastor Samuel V. Berry Sr. is the Founder and Senior Pastor with an Apostolic background, serving under Pastor Emeritus Seon Thompson and Pastor Matthew Jackson at Refuge Temple Church of Flint from 2004-2020. Pastor Berry heard the Lord’s call to establish the church on August 02, 2016, at 7:23pm while on air at WFLT (1420AM) Christian Radio Station.
With much prayer and guidance, the decision was made to move forward with the vision and mission of God’s Grace Ministries. Pastor Berry received his Ordination and License on September 13, 2020, under the leadership of Bishop Robert E. Underwood of Breakthrough Ministries of Jesus Christ, which prophesied and confirmed that God was calling Pastor Berry to not only preach the word of God but to also pastor a church.
The plan was put into place and the work began to launch online and grow the church during the pandemic. In the summer of 2021, Pastor Berry along with good friend Pastor LaMaash Johnson, began building a virtual set for online streaming inside of LaMaash Marketing and Print Shop; owned by Pastor Johnson. After getting the green light from God to begin the ministry, Pastor Berry and God’s Grace Ministries held it’s first Parking Lot Service on September 12, 2021. After a few months of outside services, it was time to move indoors, and the virtual stage was ready for streaming.
For the first six months from the launch, streaming services were just fine; but a twist in God’s plans caused G2 Ministries to move from one location to another. In March of 2022 God expanded and increased G2 Ministries in members and location which enabled us to have in house and online worship services. Currently we are enjoying the blessings of a 150-seat sanctuary church that has been prepared for the continued growth of new members. God’s Grace is not just a Ministry, but it’s the gift of God that saved us all through faith.
Pastor Samuel V. Berry Sr., an anointed visionary founded God’s Grace Ministries International in 2020. Pastor Berry received his calling at a young age just as Samuel in the Bible with much similarity; some would say coincidence, others would say destiny, biblical, yet reality.
God has blessed Pastor Berry to be married to Lady Je’Keeta for 10 years, as of March 2024, with many years to follow. Although Pastor Berry and Lady Je’Keeta does not have any children together, he brings 14 children to the marriage: Samuel Jr. Shambria, Germarius, Antonio, Samia, Jayla, LaQwesha, Shanaya, Tiana, Ka’Tiera, Le’Andria, DeManuel, and twins DeeAnn, and DeOnna. He is the Son of Mr. S.J. Berry and Ms. Evon Berry. His siblings include Fabian, Lavita, Je’Quelia, (Regina, Shaundeva, Nikki, Germeric, Mike, Courtney, and Whitney), and a host of grandchildren.
Pastor Berry was brought up in the church and learned about the Bible under the Seventh Day Adventist Denomination. Also, he has served in many positions and held many titles from Youth Leader, President of the choir, Armor Bearer, Media Team Leader, and more. In March of 2004; he was Ordained to Deacon.
Pastor Berry loves to see people advance and operate in their God given gifts and talents. He desires to preach the word of God as The Holy Spirit leads him with no apologies. Teaching the word of God as The Holy Spirit reveals it and showing the Love of God to all people regardless of race, gender, and background. Pastor Berry passionately believes that we were all saved by Grace and that the love of God has covered our sins and he looks to continue to be used by God to bring salvation to all who are willing to receive it.
