In August 1983, twelve people met in a Texas Intermediate School auditorium to begin Grace Community Church.  Founding Pastor Steve Riggle jokes that everyone there that day had a job in the church, including the children.

Four weeks after that first Sunday, God provided Grace’s first facility. It was a miracle. That small congregation cleaned up the building and started holding services with great faith that God would bring a harvest. In a matter of months, Grace grew from that original twelve people to several hundred. The Grace family quickly outgrew that little building and started looking for a new place to call home.  That would become the pattern for Grace as the church grew numerically and spiritually and larger and larger became necessary.

With a clear call from God to lift our eyes and see the city of Houston, Pastor Steve and the leadership team made a bold move in purchasing 86 acres and relocating the church to a new campus near the heart of the city. Construction began on the new worship center that can now accommodate 10,000 people in worship.  In August 2007, Grace also opened a North Houston site in The Woodlands on an 85-acre lakeside campus.

Grace begins a new adventure in San Diego’s North County with the purchase of a new 15-acre property and facility located in Oceanside. Already a vibrant core of people from all walks of life have joined together believing God to raise up a thriving church that will mininster to thousands of people. Grace is committed to the Word of God and expressing the love of God in real ways, experiencing God in fervent worship, meeting people at their point of need, and challenging men and women to live out God’s best for their lives.

Each week people are experiencing the power of God’s grace transforming their lives.  Minutes from anywhere in North County, Grace is conveniently located at 1602 S. El Camino Real. Join us this week and experience the power of Grace!
