Come on over! Grace Ave is a diverse community of non-denominational Christians. Pastors Daniel and Janelle are so warm and loving! The church is in a temporary home right now, and we are praying for God to give us the opportunity to move into our recently purchased building in 78207, Westside San Antonio. You will encounter a homegrown local church when you attend Grace Ave. Folks are welcoming and looking to grow with each other as God’s children. The kingdom is growing at GAC! All thanks to the Glory of God! There are two services on Sunday, 10 am and 1130 am. Each service is just over an hour. Coffee and water are provided! There are also plenty of Sundays that have special snacks after service. Come on in if you’re looking for a church! God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Grace Ave. has become my second home! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The community is so genuine and loving, and the messages are always rooted in truth and centered on Christ. Worship is heartfelt and powerful, and the atmosphere is full of peace. The leaders truly care about people. I also love that there are opportunities to serve the community through outreaches. If you’re looking for a place to grow in your faith, connect with others, and experience God’s presence, I highly recommend Grace Ave. Church!

My spouse and I have been attending Grace Avenue Church since we got married in 2022, and it’s truly become home for us. I’ve been in church since I was a child, but this community has been something special—a real reflection of Jesus and the kind of life we want to build together with our future children. We’ve formed deep, lasting relationships here that go beyond Sundays. I’ve also had the opportunity to serve and grow my skills as a designer, surrounded by others who share similar interests and passions. There’s truly something for everyone here—whether you’re looking to grow spiritually, connect with others, or use your gifts in meaningful ways. You get more than just a church—you get a family, support, place to thrive and fall more in love with my God!

The people here are kind and friendly. It is easy to get involved with the church, make friends, join groups. It isn’t so big that it overwhelms you and you just get lost in the crowd. Someone always says hello or is eager to chat. I absolutely feel at home with my family here. Oh and they have a great kids ministry starting at 4 months old. As a mom, that really sold me on coming for the first time.

Good worship and very friendly atmosphere. Message was great and a very engaged congregation made it easy to stay on course with the teaching.

We were there to visit while out of town. They welcomed us like long time friends. If we lived in SAN ANTONIO, we'd make this our church home. The kids enjoyed their area too. The worship team and Pastor are amazing.

Love this church, very welcoming and full of faith. Pastor Daniel delivers the message so wonderfully every time, he speaks to the church and breaks down the scriptures and the message he’s trying to deliver so clearly.

My neighbor invited here, it's right in front of my neighborhood. She told me it would be a modern service. Boy, she wasn't playing. I was blown away by the rock style concert that the service begin with. I was almost little too much coming from a Catholic up bringing and evolving to a more non-denominational Christian. However, I'm glad I stuck around because the Pastor was excellent and I really like his services and will be back.

I love this church and everyone I’ve met at it! I’ve been going since college with my family and again now years later with my husband, our daughter and even my in-laws. We’ve gotten baptized this year with Grace Avenue and I couldn’t be more grateful for this church!

Grace Avenue has an awesome and thriving Young Adults ministry called C|20. This is how I first found out about this church family and soon after became a member. It’s an awesome, healthy, diverse and growing body of believers. I love it here 😇 …
