Grace Community Church began as an independent church in Lake Forest, California in 1975 when a group of devoted Christians wanted to develop a non- Denominational Community church. The church initially met at La Paz Jr. High School, moved to Mission Viejo High School, and finally purchased a nine-acre property in Lake Forest. Over the next four decades, with the guidance and dedication of three long-term pastors, Grace continued to grow and impact the lives of people in Saddleback Valley and around the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In addition to our church we are commited to Christian education. Beginning in 1979, we established three Christian schools—Grace Christian Preschool in 1979, Grace Christian Elementary School in 2004, followed by Grace Christian Jr. High School in 2017.
