Grace Church is:
A center for worship and fellowship
A school for discipleship and stewardship
A community for healing and outreach

About our worship

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name;
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 
(Psalm 96.7-9)

According to the Book of Common Prayer ministry is not just the obligation of the bishops, priests and deacons, but the responsibility of every member of the Church. At Grace Church there are myriad opportunities to participate in the worship services (see Service Opportunities below).

Traditional Eucharistic liturgy and fine music are hallmarks of worship at our parish, sometimes described as Anglo-Catholic or high church. There are five celebrations of Holy Eucharist every Sunday, including two choral Eucharists (which means there is both music and Holy Eucharist), and celebrations of Holy Eucharist throughout the week.

In addition, Grace has a growing cross-cultural ministry to the Spanish-speaking people in the surrounding neighborhoods, including a Sunday celebration in Spanish of La Santa Eucaristía.

Visit the links below to see a schedule of services, and to find information on the many opportunities to  participate in the ministries of the church and its outreach programs.

Many Episcopalians make daily use the Office of Morning and Evening Prayer contained in the Book of Common Prayer. You may visit our links page to access the online versions of these Offices in both English and Spanish, as well as links to the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, and many other resources we hope will be of interest to you.
