Dr. Darryl L. Grant
Darryl L. Grant is the Senior Pastor of Kingdom Builders Church International in Charlotte, North Carolina. The purpose of the ministry is to equip people with a biblical foundation for personal living and world evangelism.
Pastor Grant graduated from Oral Roberts University (ORU) in Tulsa, OK. He holds a BA in Theology and History and a MA in Practical Theology. He also earned a Doctor of Ministry from ORU. In December 1991, Bishop Frank O. White ordained Pastor Grant as an elder in the Church of God in Christ.
Pastor Grant started Kingdom Builders Church International (KBCI) on October 21, 2001. It is a growing congregation located in West Charlotte. His vision for KBCI is to minister the life-giving power of God's word to all people, and establish ministries and organizations of excellence that will demonstrate the love and power of God. This vision has allowed the church to reach out to the community through participation with the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation, a clothing closet, feeding the homeless, and holiday food giveaways. Currently, Pastor Darryl Grant serves under Prelate, Stenneth E. Powell, within the North Carolina Second Jurisdiction of the Church of God in Christ as an Auxiliary Bishop, First Administrative Assistant, and the Superintendent of the Charlotte Metro District. He also provides leadership and guidance to several independent pastors and churches
On June 14, 2013, Pastor Darryl wed Lady Lawanne' in holy matrimony. Together, they rest in the Word of God knowing "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him" (I Corinthians 2:9 - KJV). Pastor Grant is a man of humility and more than the sum of his accomplishments. His love for God is apparent in his teaching and preaching but, more importantly, in how he conducts his everyday life. He rightly divides the word of truth and has the word of the Lord in his mouth. His journey has given him the heart of a worshipper and made him a man of prayer who seeks only to enhance God's reputation.
