The Episcopal Church
is a member of the Anglican Communion

respectful diversity and generous orthodoxy
From our beginnings as a small house church in 2007, up to the present with more than 150 members, Grace Episcopal Church has defined itself as an inclusive church that welcomes everyone and as an outreach parish that strives to help others. 
Our mission means varied and ongoing outreach efforts to the local community, the nation, and the world, as well as a parish commitment to raise an amount equivalent to 10% of our annual parish budget.
