In January of 1991 Bishop Logan started a bible class in the home of Dr. Darryl and Mrs. Debra Mabra with two people in attendance. This bible class initiated the conception of Greater Grace Temple in September of 1991. After three years, 22 acres of land was purchased on Leffel Lane of Springfield, Ohio. Shortly after a multi-purpose worship center was built. The ministry built a worship center that has two Sunday services and 33 ministries reaching out to the community and the membership with the love and word of God, preaching that Jesus is Lord.

Pastor Monica L. Stephens Logan
First Lady of Greater Grace Temple
A native of Springfield, Ohio, Monica L. Stephens Logan was born to Thomas and Betty Stephens. She is the wife Of Bishop Ronald Logan. Their three girls have been the source of great joy.
Monica's joy is praising and worshiping God through song and drama. Graduating from Wittenberg University with a degree of Bachelor of Arts, Monica feels a mandate to write plays and illustrated sermons that will challenge the mind and present good news. Her plays are full of life's experiences and tell life stories about being victorious in the mist of unfailing battles.
Among the plays, she has written are, The Majority Rules: The double life of a city commissioner and her abnormal obsession with her daughter. The Redemption of Heaven: The triumphant deliverance of a prostitute named Heaven. God Loves Joey: The sad but true story of a homosexual and his love for God. In addition, Motown to Gospel: The true story of one couple's rise to fame, the hardships, and how they survived.
Monica L. Stephens-Logan has been a minister of God's word for most of her life. She has received her teaching and training as a license minister from her husband and pastor, and from Aenon Bible College, Indianapolis, Indiana. Her charge from the Holy Spirit is to be a lover of God's sheep, and a pioneer of the non-traditional. Logan was called to the pastorate to work alongside her husband in 2004. The vision for their work at Greater Grace Temple is to create in their membership a burning passion for God and His people. Currently mentoring small groups of women throughout the congregation, her thrust is to demonstrate the liberating power of God and share His intentions for their personal growth. As she walks in her charge, Minister Logan's desire is to unite woman everywhere and equip them with confidence so that the good work God had begun in them will be completed.
