Why YOU are Welcome

It doesn't matter the path you are on- if you haven't been to church in a long time, if you are divorced, gay, come from another faith or struggling with personal concerns. You are welcome here. Unconditionally. Always.​

​​

The Grace Episcopal Church "welcome" includes: 

• Inclusivity: We welcome everyone, regardless of background, identity, or beliefs.

• Community Support: We offer a supportive community where individuals can find fellowship and connection.

• Spiritual Growth: Our church encourages spiritual exploration and growth through various programs and worship services.

• Tradition and Liturgy: We offer a rich liturgical tradition and beautiful worship practices.

• Intellectual Inquiry: Grace Church promotes thoughtful discussion and questioning about faith, making it a safe space for exploration. We foster an environment of dialogue and understanding through our programs, discussion groups and book club.

• Family-Friendly: Everyone is welcome at Grace, and children are no exception. The noise of children can glorify God just like a song or prayer. We offer Sunday School where children learn a biblical lesson and then join their parents just after the sermon. In addition, we offer activities for young adults and we also host our local Boy Scout troop.

• Service Opportunities: We are home to the Norwood Ecumenical Food Pantry, which serves over 75 families per week. We offer various seasonal opportunities to serve both the church and the Norwood community.

• Open Communion: Grace Church practices open communion and invites all baptized Christians to partake at our table. We want to promote a sense of belonging to anyone who is seeking a new church or the opportunity to engage with a welcoming community.
