Who we are

Started in a living room. Still built like one.

Grace Point started in 2004 with eleven people in a Lake Highlands living room who wanted a church their unconvinced friends could sit through — plain words instead of insider language, questions welcomed instead of managed, and a front door with no bait-and-switch behind it. Twenty-two years and two buildings later, that’s still the filter for everything we do.

These days we’re around 850 people across three Sunday gatherings — two in English, one in Spanish — which makes us big enough to have something for your kids and small enough that someone will learn your name. We won’t pretend everyone here has it figured out. That’s sort of the point.

Plain-language teaching — no insider vocabulary required
Every kids and student leader background-checked, every year
One church, two languages, one shared building and budget
Weekly food pantry open to anyone in the neighborhood — no strings

Ministries

A place for every age — and every level of "not sure yet."

Sunday Gatherings — 9:00 & 11:00am

About 75 minutes: a few songs, a straightforward message from the Bible, and you’re out the door. Dress is genuinely casual — jeans outnumber ties about fifty to one.

Grace Kids (Birth–5th Grade)

Secure check-in with matching pickup tags, background-checked leaders in every room, and age-level teaching kids actually enjoy. You’ll get a text if your child needs you mid-service.

Grace Students (6th–12th)

Wednesday nights at 6:30: food, loud games, real conversation, and leaders who remember your kid’s name and show up at their games. Middle and high school meet separately.

Small Groups

40+ groups meeting in living rooms across the metro — some by neighborhood, some by stage of life. It’s where Sunday-morning faces turn into people who help you move a couch.

Servicio en Español — 12:45pm

Not a translation feed — a full gathering in Spanish with its own worship team, pastor, and community, sharing the same building and the same kids ministry. Los domingos a las 12:45pm.

Outreach & Food Pantry

Every Thursday our pantry serves 100+ neighborhood families — no forms, no sermon required. Twice a year the whole church spends a Saturday fixing up local schools and seniors’ homes.

Your first Sunday

Here’s exactly how it goes — no surprises.

1
Park and walk in

Guest parking is by the main doors — look for the blue signs. A greeter will point you anywhere you need, or just wave if you’d rather find your own way.
2
Check in the kids

The Grace Kids desk is first thing inside the lobby. First-timers take about three minutes: security tags print for each child, and matching tags stay with you for pickup.
3
Grab a coffee

Real espresso, free, in the lobby. Take it into the service — everyone does. Nobody will ask you to sign anything, stand up, or raise a hand.
4
Find a seat

Sit anywhere — back row is a time-honored first-visit choice. About 75 minutes later you’re done. If you want to talk to someone after, we’re around; if not, the exits work great.

Stories

People who walked in unsure, in their own words.

“I sat in my car in the parking lot for ten minutes the first Sunday, deciding whether to go in. Two years later this is where my kids ask to be on Sundays, and my small group helped me pack my whole apartment when I moved. Nobody ever made me feel like a project.”

Danielle W. Lake Highlands · attending since 2024

“Mis papás van al servicio en español y yo voy al de las 11 con mi esposa — same church, same building, and on big Sundays we’re all in one room together. Finding one church our whole bilingual family calls home was the thing we’d given up looking for.”

Marcos T. Casa Linda · three generations at Grace Point

“I came for the food pantry line, honestly. Nobody preached at me — they just kept remembering my name week after week. Eight months later I tried a Sunday service on my own terms. Still here.”

Honest questions

Things people actually want to know before visiting.

What should I wear?

Whatever is clean-ish. Jeans and sneakers are the uniform here; a few folks dress up because they like to. You will not be underdressed, we promise.

Will I be asked to give money?

No. There’s a giving moment for our regulars, and if you’re a guest we genuinely mean it when we say it’s not for you. No plates passed under your nose, no envelopes mailed to your house, nothing to sign up for on this website.

Is my kid safe in Grace Kids?

It’s designed around that question: secure check-in with matching parent tags, every leader background-checked annually, two adults in every room, and a text to your phone if your child needs you. Come fifteen minutes early the first time and we’ll walk you through all of it.

I’m not sure what I believe. Is that a problem?

It’s the normal starting point here — a good chunk of our church walked in skeptical. Nobody will corner you, quiz you, or rush you. Come, listen, take your time, and ask hard questions; we’d rather have your honest doubt than a polite performance.

What’s the difference between the 9:00, 11:00, and 12:45 gatherings?

Same teaching, different feel: 9:00 is quieter with more empty seats, 11:00 is the fullest with the most families, and 12:45 is our full Spanish-language service with its own worship team and pastor. Grace Kids runs at all three. Pick whichever fits your morning — plenty of people rotate.

Plan your visit — we’ll save you the awkward parts.

Tell us which Sunday you’re thinking about and how many kids you’re bringing. We’ll have name tags pre-printed at the kids desk, a parking spot by the door, and one person expecting you — that’s it. No follow-up pressure, ever.
