Our Grace Story

Grace Community Fellowship was founded in 2003 with a simple vision: to create a place where people could experience an authentic relationship with God and authentic relationships with one another.

What began with a small group gathered in a living room has grown into a thriving church family. Along the way, we’ve met in homes, community buildings, storefronts, and now our current campus. The locations have changed, but our mission has remained the same—to see transformed lives through Jesus Christ. As God has continued to grow our church, we’ve expanded our ministries, launched Life Groups to keep relationships at the center of church life, and remained committed to helping people know Jesus, grow in faith, serve others, and live on mission.

Our heart has always been bigger than one location. As part of Grace Ministries International, we’ve always believed healthy churches multiply. In 2026, we celebrated the launch of Grace Community Fellowship Waco, the ninth Grace church in our network and the first church plant sent directly from our congregation.

We believe the best days of Grace are still ahead. Our vision isn’t simply to grow bigger—it’s to make a bigger impact by creating more space to disciple people, care for families, and help more people experience the hope of Jesus. As we continue to grow, we look forward to planting another church in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, raising up pastors, leaders, and teams to reach even more communities.

What began with a handful of people in a living room has become a growing church family, and we believe God is just getting started. We’re grateful you’re here, and we’re excited to see what part God has for you in the next chapter of our story.
