Grace Lutheran Church

Our History

Over Sixty years and growing

Grace Lutheran Church was formed in 1956. The first church building was constructed and dedicated in 1960 on Hollywood Boulevard. Services were held until 1983 when the state began construction of Martin Luther King Boulevard displacing the church. The church constructed its present Sanctuary and offices in 1984 on Valhi Boulevard. In 1988 the back classrooms were constructed. In 1992 the Fellowship Hall was added. In 2003 the back classrooms were made into an Early Childhood Center. A few years later the 2 classrooms across from the offices were combined to make room for a 2 year old program to be added to the ECC. In 2009 a prayer garden was constructed, attached to the north wall of the Sanctuary. The bell tower was constructed out front in 2014 with the old sign subsequently removed and walkway to the tower installed. In 2018 the prayer garden fountain was relocated and the columbarium installed. In 2019 a new location and information sign was installed in front of the bell tower.
