Grace Bible Church

Communications Director

La Vernia,

Texas

Why I Love This Opportunity

Phil Bowdle

Vice President of Marketing

God is up to something special at Grace Bible Church. The church has grown 39% over the last few years, and more growth is coming as the area of La Vernia continues to grow. This is an amazing opportunity for a communications leader to step into a great church and build a thriving communications ministry.

About This Organization

Grace Bible Church of La Vernia was launched in the Fall of 1997. For eight years, the church met in various locations as it grew. In the Fall of 2005, the congregation moved into its new building at the time at our current location. In April of 2006, Pastor Erin and his wife joined the pastoral staff as Associate Pastor. After the Senior Pastor stepped down in January of 2008, the Elders asked Pastor Erin to lead the church as the Senior Pastor. Pastor Erin accepted and has served as Senior Pastor ever since.

When Pastor Erin accepted the position in 2008, the average worship service was 250 people. Since 2008, the church has grown to a current average worship service of 900 people, 300 in Kids Ministry (birth – 5th grade), and 120 Students (6th-12th grade). To accommodate the growth over the years, the church added a classroom, foyer, and office space in the Fall of 2017.

​From August 2019 (before COVID) to August 2022, the church has grown 39%. To accommodate for the growth, Grace Bible Church launched a Saturday evening service and has already identified a second campus location with plans to launch that campus in August of 2023.

God has been moving in powerful ways through Grace Bible Church, and the best is yet to come!
