Grace Lutheran is a church for people seeking to have a relationship with God. We believe God's church is the place for you to become all you were created to be in worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth. At Grace, the Holy Spirit is constantly blessing us with the ability to allow that to happen.

We offer a divine worship service and a variety of ministries including weekly Bible studies, Women's and Men's Ministries, Music Ministries, and many activities for children and young adults.

History:

Grace Lutheran Church in Smithville, Texas was officially organized on March 13, 1927. The opening service was held on the second floor of the old City Hall building with 7 communicant members and 13 baptized members in attendance.

The first Bible class began in July 1929 and in September of the same year work began on the new church building. The completed chapel was dedicated on April 27, 1930. Over the years the chapel was expanded and renovated as the congregation grew. During this time the congregation also purchased additional property as needed. In the fall of 1984 construction was started on a new church building. The new church was dedicated on August 4, 1985 and is still being used today.

On August 17, 1992 Grace Learning Center was opened to serve the community of Smithville. The center has 50 children enrolled.

The congregation has Bible Study and fellowship opportunities for all ages, including Mid-Week classes, Youth Group, Sunday School, Adult Bible classes, Lutheran Women's Missionary League and Lutheran Laymen's League.

In 2002 the Learning Center celebrated its 10th year of operation and the congregation observed its 75th Anniversary with a Celebration Worship Service and dinner.
