Thursday Evening Classes - 7:00-8:30p
Welcome!
We offer a wide variety of ministries designed to speak to every need
and every stage of life. So whether you are single, a family with kids,
raising teens, young marrieds, empty nesters, or boomers and beyondGrace has a place for you. Ministries are a place to connect with others,
build lasting relationships, grow spiritually, and serve others.
Events, small groups, and Bible studies provide a place for everyone
to grow in their walk with God and build lasting relationships. Our
outreaches to the Greater Houston area and around the world make a
difference in lives every day.
VISION & VALUES
Grace Church exists as a local expression of the Body of Christ to share
with our world God’s love as revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, and to
pursue a vital, living relationship with the Lord and one another, in the
power of the Holy Spirit.
GRACE VALUES
Our values govern how we gather together as a congregation, what
we provide in the way of ministry programs and where we invest
our resources – both physical and financial. Not listed in order of
importance, each of these values form a part of what we envision Grace
to be.
• Prayer is the foundation of all we do.
• We believe that every person is valuable to God and His Kingdom.
• The normal Christian life is for every believer to be fully devoted to
Christ and His cause.
• As people birthed into His Kingdom, we should be authentic
followers of Christ continuing to grow in Him by learning His way,
manifesting His power, and serving our world.
• We believe that every member is a minister called to a servant’s heart; investing his or her time, talent and resources for the cause
of Christ.
• God actively demonstrated His heart for lost people and we should
also by intentionally reaching out to others. We believe that the
most effective evangelism happens through people inviting people.
• Everyone should be involved in a small group where community
happens.
• We embrace our city in all of its diversity, both ethnically and
economically, by every means possible resulting in ministry that
impacts our city.
• We recognize the heart of God to transform cities and actively
support the city-reaching process in the context of the larger body
of Christ.
• We have a worldwide calling. Therefore, we partner with other
ministries throughout the world in proclaiming the message of
Jesus.
• We are committed to honoring God and using our gifts and
resources for maximum impact by ministering with excellence.

Grace Equip Classes
Welcome To Grace Equip
Join us for the beginning of our new semester of Grace Equip Classes.
Our desire is that your experience in these classes will be a catalyst for
spiritual growth in your daily life. A description of each class can be
found here in our Grace Directory.
Why Attend A Grace Equip Class?
Grace Equip fosters an environment that enables you to hear from
God - the most critical piece of growing spiritually. All of our classes,
regardless of topic, are designed to be revelational - not for you to
simply hear new information, but rather that you hear from Him. In
the process of hearing God, He will help you grow in your spiritual life
and become “unstuck” in your spiritual progress. Setting aside time to
attend an Equip Class will offer you well-grounded, biblical teaching and
the opportunity to hear from God which will introduce you to a whole
new level of transformation.
Which Equip Class Is For You?
At our Woodlands Campus, Grace Equip Classes will be offered on
Monday mornings from 10:00a-12:00p and Thursday evenings from
7:00-9:00p to fit into the busiest of schedules. Beginning the week of
September 14th, classes will be offered from 1-10 weeks in length.
Simply determine your availability, review the class schedule, and
register to get involved. We understand you may not be able to attend
every class, but missing one does not mean you have to miss them
all. Register online at www.gracewoodlands.tv. If you have questions,
contact us at [email protected].

opportunity for students to invite their friends and get them plugged in
relationally with other students outside a normal church environment.
