Buildings

Grace Episcopal Church is built in the Gothic style of native red sandstone. A bluestone walkway and steps lead to the church’s huge oak doors in a Gothic frame.

Above, there is a stained glass Rose Window, a replica of one in Lincoln Cathedral. From the nave to the altar, Gothic arches of chestnut, forty feet high at the peak, are supported by twelve granite columns, patterned from Westminster Abbey, symbolizing the twelve apostles. The pews of carved chestnut are copied from early Saxon benches found in Surrey.

In the walls are stained glass memorial windows in a style copied from Tintern Abbey. Behind and above the free standing altar and framing the stained glass Chancel windows is a mosaic mural of a beauty rarely encountered in American churches. In tiny, one inch marble pieces, two grape-vines in full foliage bear six Fruits of the Holy Ghost (Charity was mysteriously omitted).

The sanctuary is heightened by exquisite and prize-winning needlepoint kneelers at the foot of the altar. The choir stalls sit at the rear of the church on a balcony overlooking the nave. In their midst sits a Cassavant organ.

The nave seats 300 and is equipped with a complete voice amplification system and video equipment for live-streaming services.

The campus includes the church itself and several other buildings used for offices, fellowship, and meetings. Many can be rented for private events.

The Parish House

The Parish House, connected to the main church by a walkway, contains a number of spaces across two stories.
