Welcome to Grace Church!
Whether your faith is rock solid or you’re full of questions; whether you grew up in church or are brand new to the Christian faith; whether you know how to spell Episcopalian or not… we hope the radical hospitality of Jesus Christ is what you experience at Grace Church.
As part of the Episcopal Church, we draw on the rich tradition of Anglican theology, the sacraments, the church seasons, and a liturgical style of worship. These practices keep us grounded and rooted to the early traditions of the church, yet open to where the Holy Spirit is showing up and guiding the church today. Since the launch of our church in 2014, we’ve sought to make the Episcopal tradition accessible to people brand new to it. Over 75% of our church grew up in evangelical or charismatic churches but have found a fresh perspective to faith here at Grace Church.
We’d love to connect with you, so be sure to fill out the Guest Card below!
What to Expect
What is worship like?
Each Sunday we gather to read the Bible, sing, hear a sermon, pray and share in Holy Communion. Our worship style is liturgical, which means the service is participatory. There are some prayers said by the priest, some by the congregation, and some altogether. The flow of the service follows the Book of Common Prayer, which contains prayers written throughout the centuries. We blend these written prayers with our own prayers, drawing on the wisdom of the past and the continual inspiration of the Holy Spirit today. Projector screens and a printed worship guide will guide you through the service. It is easy to follow even if you have never been to a church like Grace. Several of our classes, including Foundations of Grace offer a great opportunity to learn more about the "why" and the structure behind liturgical prayers.
What about the music?
Music sets the tone and atmosphere for our worship. It draws us together and carries our prayers to God. Our 9 a.m. worship service features more traditional hymns & spirituals. It is led by piano and a vocal ensemble. Our 11 a.m. worship music features more contemporary music blended with hymns. It is led by a full band. Both services are reverent and spirit filled, but with a fresh beat.
Is Nursery Care available?
When you enter the front doors of the Sanctuary you are in our Gathering Space. Our nursery and check in kiosk is to your left & greeters will direct you. Our nursery is designed for kids four and under. You can pick them up anytime with your parent code. If you are needed during the service, the code will flash on the corner of the worship screen in the sanctuary.
What do I wear?
Grace Church is a pretty relaxed place - no need for a suit or tie. You'll see jeans, khakis, button downs, polo shirts, & even T-shirts. Don't stress about what to wear.

Foundations is a 4-week series that runs several times a year. It is an introductory class that talks about Grace Church, the Episcopal Church, sacraments, Scripture, Jesus Christ and getting connected at Grace Church. It is typically accompanied by a Newcomer Dinner at the end of the course.
