Grace of God Baptist Church was organized June 4, 1983 in the home of Rev. and Sis. R.L. Bonner at 775 Jadewood Dr. Dallas, Texas. The organizing membership totaled 13 people. The names are Rev. R.L. Bonner, Sis. Mary Bonner, Bro. Eric Bonner, Bro. Brian Bonner, Sis. Johnnie Bell Turner, Sis. Sasheia Samples (candidate for baptism), Sis. Nichelle Wimbush (candidate for baptism), Bro. Leo Wimbush, Sis. Bobbie Wimbush, Bro. Clifton Wimbush, Sis. Ellise Powell, Sis. Mary Helen Harp and Sis. Lorene Jones.
Our first service was held June 5, 1983 at Nat Clark funeral Home on Denley Dr. In August 1983 we moved to Reed’s Funeral Home at 3910 S. Lancaster Rd. In 1985 we moved to 2302 Scotland Dr. and converted a house to a church. In 2 years we built a new church building at that location and entered on December 31, 1987. We remained at that location 12 years and on October 31, 1999 we sold our building.
November 7, 1999 we went into a storefront building at 215 E. Beltline Rd., Desoto, Texas, and began having service. We worshipped there 11 months and on October 15, 2000, we moved to 601 N. Hampton Rd. It’s been a long hard journey but the Lord has kept us.
