Grace Point History

Grace Point Church, formerly known as Castle Hills Church Northwest, was started as a satellite campus of Castle Hills First Baptist Church, San Antonio, Texas, in November 1992. After months of negotiations with the Resolution Trust Corporation the purchase of an abandoned forty-five thousand square foot church facility, which includes education classrooms, situated on nearly twenty-five acres, was finalized. One hundred families from the main campus were asked to make a one-year commitment to begin the satellite campus. On the first Sunday, nearly four hundred people attended the worship service.

Since November of 1992, Grace Point Church has experienced steady growth and significant influence in the city of San Antonio. In February 1998, Castle Hills First Baptist Church initiated the constitution process for Castle Hills Church Northwest to become an autonomous church. The process was overwhelmingly approved. In early 2002, Castle Hills Church Northwest voted to change the church name to Grace Point Church in order to better reflect her identity and the purpose of her existence: To lead unsaved people to a relationship of full devotion to Jesus Christ.

In March 2002, Grace Point Church dedicated the addition of a 22,000 sq ft Children's Facility. We are currently in the process of building a 10,000 sq ft Student Center that should be complete in early 2010.

Today, the worship attendance of Grace Point Church has grown to approximately 1200 spread out over three worship services—9:30, 11:00 and 12:30 pm. On Sunday mornings there are over 500 in Kids of Grace Ministry (birth—5th grade) and over 175 in the The Point Student Ministry (6-12th grades). Midweek G-Kids attracts over 100 kids. There are over 40 home study groups, called Life Groups, where adults find meaningful relationships, accountability, encouragement, ministry opportunities and the community context in which to follow Jesus with full devotion. Numerous Adult Learning Communities and Introductory/ Equipping Classes take place throughout the week.
