Mission Statement

Grace Episcopal Church is a place of spiritual growth and renewal: a community of faith where the word and sacraments of Jesus Christ are shared with love. As a community we share with others the blessings we have received, using our gifts and talents to minister to the spiritual and social needs of our neighbors both near and far. In all we do, we celebrate with great joy the unconditional embrace of Christ's love, making every effort to remove any barriers which separate the people of God from one another.

Grace Episcopal Church

O God, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship; narrow enough to shut out all envy pride and strife, Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block to children nor straying feet, but rugged and strong enough to turn back the tempter's power. God make the door of this house the gateway to thine eternal kingdom.
AMEN.

— Bishop Thomas Ken (1637-1711), inscribed on the door of St. Stephen's Wallbrook, London.

You are invited to join freely in this fellowship. In the days since the first families gathered in 1854 to form an Episcopal church in The Plains and dedicated the first sanctuary in 1855, Grace has become a vigorous parish of over four hundred people who worship and grow and serve God together. It is a fellowship of people who gather in God's name for a wide variety of spiritual, educational and outreach programs that allow us to confront the challenges of life with courage and faith — a fellowship of people through whom God works miracles of love and reconciliation.
