Grace Church began with just twelve people. They met at Clear Lake Intermediate School in Houston in 1983. Pastor Steve Riggle led this initial church-planting mission. Grace International Churches and Ministries, Inc sent him. The church quickly grew.
Late in 1983, the church relocated to Webster. They moved into an existing church building. By then, the congregation had grown to 98 people. In 1984, they moved again. This time, they went to League City. The congregation had grown to 400 members.
By 1988, the League City location was full. Even with three services, they needed more space. Services then moved to Clear Brook High School in Friendswood. In 1990, Grace Church relocated to a new facility. It was in Clear Lake City.
The church experienced further growth. In 2004, Grace Church moved to the South Campus. This new facility covered 86 acres next to the Gulf Freeway. In 2006, they broke ground for a North Campus. This was in The Woodlands.
The South Campus interim worship center held 1900 seats. It reached capacity during the late service in 2006. A new South Campus worship center was dedicated in 2006. It could hold 8000 people with full seating.
