Pastor Rick Minett, at the age of 29, preached his first sermon to a crowd of 22 people gathered together in a rundown building near downtown Houston in April of 1984.

The decision was then made to begin a new work and call it “Grace Community Church.” The church would remain near downtown Houston for the next nine years.

After 40 years of pastoral leadership, Pastor Rick retired from the church. Pastor Jason Bollinger would then assume the role of Senior Pastor and build upon that foundation. In 1 Corinthians 3:10, the Apostle Paul wrote, “According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it.” He also wrote, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.” To God be the glory! Great things He has done!
