The Mission of Grace Episcopal Church is to be a welcoming community of faith guided by the life and teachings of Jesus. At Grace Church you will discover an enthusiastic group of open-minded people who value spiritual growth, corporate worship, life-long learning, and service to others. Please join us!
Deeply rooted in the Episcopal Church and its emphasis on life in Christian community, Grace Church affirms the uniqueness and individuality of each person’s spiritual journey. Here you will find mutual respect and the free exchange of ideas in a nurturing environment. It is safe to think aloud about your faith journey and to hear the stories of other people whose journeys may be similar or quite different. All are welcome here!
We Invite.
We are known for our engaging and beautiful worship services. For those who have grown up Roman Catholic, the service known as the Mass, Eucharist, or Holy Communion will be familiar. For those of reformed tradition or those with no religious tradition, we think you may find a spiritual home in a church that respects its tradition and maintains its sense of awe and wonder at the power and mystery of God.
We Welcome.
We celebrate diversity of people and worship styles. Our worship follows the form set out in the Book of Common Prayer. The Episcopal Church follows the “via media” or middle way in our theology and discussions.
There are no prerequisites in The Episcopal Church.
