The Mission of Grace Episcopal Church is to restore all people
to unity with God and each other in Christ.

To accomplish this Mission, we the people who are Grace Episcopal Church, believe we are called by God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to: 
•  Proclaim the Gospel; 
•  Promote justice, peace and love; 
•  Join in prayer and worship; and
•  Minister to each other and to others by word and example. 
​
EXPLANATION
   We witness to Christ, our Lord and Savior, in our lives within the Church community and in the community and world at large. All we do and say, all our witness and service, is a response to God’s gift to us of life and grace and love. Our sense of blessedness is reflected in our mission. We seek to act in response to our Lord in worship, in praise, in song, in thanksgiving, in confession, in teaching, at work and at play, in service and outreach, in care and maintenance of our buildings, and in growth. 
   We were indissolubly bound to our mission at our baptism. It is our enduring commitment to the covenant made at baptism that marks our journey with the Christ. In doubt, in sadness, in joy, in searching, we ask together where our mission ought to take us and how best to serve Jesus and others.
   As a Church, we organize as Rector, Vestry, officers, choir, committees and members to build a practical structure for our mission. Our goal, our immediate mission, is to create a living body of the faithful who gather to gain the knowledge, understanding, strength, and courage to love our God and Lord and to serve ourselves and others with gladness and singleness of heart, through Christ our Lord.
