Our story

A calling carried forward.

Greater Abiding Peace began in the Goodyear home of Pastor Leroy and Lady Juanelda Grogen, answering God’s call to continue a family legacy of ministry.

The church honors the work started by Lady Grogen’s father, Pastor Lorenzo Littlejohn of Abiding Peace Church of God in Christ in Hemet, California. Through moves across the West Valley, the heart of the ministry has stayed the same: reach people, feed the hungry, care for neighbors, and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“Come and worship where we abide in God’s love and peace.”

Faith with its sleeves rolled up

A church with a table at its center.

The next chapter for Greater Abiding Peace is deeply practical: preparing meals for elderly neighbors in the Sun City area and creating a place where care is felt, not merely talked about.

Pastoral leadership

Prayer first.
People always.

Pastor Leroy Grogen teaches the church to love the Lord with heart, mind, and soul—and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Together with Lady Juanelda, he leads with the conviction that prayer changes both people and communities.
