On Wednesday, January 24, 1951, a group of people gathered together for the organizational meeting of Grace Baptist Church.
The following Sunday, twenty-one charter members began Sunday school for all ages and regular worship services in a garage building in Fort Worth, Texas. Rev. Brady Williams served as Grace’s pastor during the first year. Membership grew rapidly and in 1952 a church building was purchased to better serve the people of Grace. Rev. Cecil Thompson served as pastor in 1952 and Rev. Kenneth Connolly was pastor from 1953 until mid 1955.
