Grace Church was started in Texas more than 35 years ago. It now has more than 10,000 members and brought its club to San Diego in 2010. Inside this large institution in Oceanside sits the Word Bible College, which was founded by Dr. Stephen R. Johnson in 1988. This fully-accredited college offers three degree programs: Bachelor of Theology, Associate of Theology, and Leadership Training Certificate. All programs give students the resources and knowledge to join Christian ministries within the Grace Church or other Christian churches.
