Pastor Grimes Heritage:
Pastor Grimes attended Harrison Hills United Pentecostal Church in Jewett, Ohio for 23 years under the ministry of Rev. J. Hugh Rose. Pastor Grimes served in many leadership capacities over the years there. In October, 2001, the Lord called Pastor Grimes to the ministry, but he was very reluctant to respond.

In February, 2002, he transferred to Christian Life Center, Minerva, Ohio, and assisted Pastor James Norman for 4 years. When Pastor Norman was called to Florida to assist his aging parents in April of 2006, Pastor Grimes took this as his opportunity to open an apostolic work in his hometown of Carrollton.

Pastor Grimes and his wife Janet met Pastor and Sister Kermit Hall of Christian Life Center of New Philadelphia, Ohio. He expressed to Pastor Grimes his prayers of many years that someone would be sent to Carrollton to open an Apostolic Church, and he believed that his prayers had been answered.
In May of 2007, Pastor Grimes received his minister's license through the Assemblies of our Lord Jesus Christ (ALJC).
