About Grace
Disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.
Founded in 1984, Grace is a community in Willis following Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit — and making room for whoever walks in next.
Our Story
Grace Church exists to make disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.
We are a community that seeks to glorify God by following Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit — making disciples who make disciples, and transforming our communities for His Kingdom.
- Be with Jesus.
- Become like Him.
- Do what He did.
It started in 1984, with a handful of believers in Willis, Texas who wanted more than church as usual. They wanted to follow Jesus, and to see this community changed for His Kingdom.
Four decades later, that is still the work. Through revivals, renewals, change, and growth, generations have walked together — being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing what He did.
The vision has not changed: make disciples here in Willis, and send them to transform the communities around them.
From the Senior Pastor
“I love to see generations walking and working together, experiencing God’s love and purpose as a family.”
Everyone who comes has a place. Come be with Jesus, and find your part in making disciples.

What We Believe
What we hold while we follow Jesus
These convictions have carried forty years of making disciples.
The Bible
The Bible, in its entirety, is God's revealed Word; inspired without error and infallibly authoritative for all who submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
One God in Three Persons
There is one God, the Creator and Sustainer of all life, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Jesus Christ
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, true humanity, sinless life, miracles, death for man's sins, bodily resurrection, and present reign as Lord and High Priest.
Salvation
We believe all people are born in sin and that salvation is through repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ, with regeneration by the Holy Ghost and the gift of eternal life.
Baptism
We believe in water baptism by immersion as the believer's confession of crucifixion, burial, and resurrection with Jesus Christ.
Baptism of Jesus in the Holy Ghost
We believe the Father's promise empowers believers for witness and ministry through the supernatural gifts of the Holy Ghost.
Growth
We believe in God's call to a holy life and continual growth in the character and ministry of Christ.
Communion
We believe in the Lord's Supper as remembrance of deliverance from sin and shared life with Him as Lord and Christ.
Christ's Return
We believe in the personal return of Jesus Christ, the consummation of this age, the resurrection of the dead, and His judgment of all humanity.
