OUR MISSION

To welcome all with open arms into the life of Christ.

We gather for participatory worship that brings us close to God’s presence, we grow through teaching and small‑group community, and we go to serve our neighbors with compassion. Everything we do is upheld by grace—so people can find a place to belong, to be formed, and to make a difference.

✢ Grace Church is a welcoming community of hope and healing, where all can experience and share God’s transforming love.

OUR
VISION

✢ Through worship, we experience the presence of God through the Word, Sacrament, Music, and Community.

✢ Through outreach, we serve others by providing for their physical, spiritual and social needs.

✢ Through congregational care, we express our love for one another.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Who We Are

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Statement of Faith

As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world.  

We believe that God loves you – no exceptions.   

The Episcopal Church embraces a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; people of all genders and sexual orientations serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy work together in leadership and governance.

  • “Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 236).  

    The Bible is our foundation, understood through tradition and reason, containing all things necessary for salvation. Our worship is filled with Scripture from beginning to end. Approximately 70% of the Book of Common Prayer comes directly from the Bible. 

  • “It is a most invaluable part of that blessed ‘liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,’ that in his worship different forms and usages may without offense be allowed, provided the substance of the Faith be kept entire” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 9). 

    The Book of Common Prayer is a treasure chest full of devotional and teaching resources for individuals and congregations, but it is also the primary symbol of our unity. We, who are many and diverse, come together in Christ through our worship, our common prayer.

Our Story

Grace's main sanctuary was constructed in 1985 to meet the needs of a growing congregation. It was designed to create a natural warm feeling for worship, with all pews no more than eight rows from the altar. The carved Christ figure above the altar extends His hands as a welcome and invitation to "Come Unto Me".

Grace Chapel was built in 1893 in the Florida Carpenter Gothic Style from native cypress and heart pine. There are two stunning Tiffany three-part windows in the front and back of the church. The chapel is on the National Register of Historic Places and is still in use today.
