Bible Study

Seasonal Study

The heart of Christian formation is built upon a strong engagement with Holy Scripture and theological texts. What may seem overwhelming to someone new to exploring Christianity can become a rich source of inspiration and spiritual renewal through committed study of sacred text. Throughout the year, Grace Church hosts in-depth Bible studies led by the Rector. Conversations are vibrant, and everyone is encouraged to bring their ideas and insights to the table. 

Our Bible study historically has met on Thursday mornings at 10:00 am.

Advent and Lenten Luncheon Series

During the seasons of Advent and Lent, we offer a weekly lunch series every Thursday at 11:30 AM.

Each session begins with prayer and communion followed by lunch and a discussion on the study for the season. These series have become one of our hallmarks and bring together community members from churches of many denominations throughout the county. Our goal is to create an atmosphere of unity and spiritual growth based upon our shared faith. All are welcome to join us!

Children & Youth

Grace is a small, inter-generational church. We love that about who we are. Therefore, our children and youth are involved alongside the adults, serving in various capacities in our worship services. We teach our younger members the value of participation and that their presence is critical to the life of a vibrant faith community.

In addition to their regular participation in worship, we hold Youth Sunday each year to honor our young people. It is one of our most anticipated services.

Our goal is to guide our young people as they seek to know and serve God in the world today. We honor their questions, share in their joys, support them in their struggles, and, above all, help them know that they are beloved children of God.

Small Groups

Praying with Grace

This small group meets on Tuesday mornings at 8:30 am for Morning Prayer and participates in quarterly silent retreats.

Men's Group

The Men’s Group is a small group ministry that invites all men into fellowship, study, and service and meets on the first and third Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm.

The purpose of Grace Men’s Group is to provide a means for the men of Grace Church and the larger community to meet regularly for fellowship, spiritual development, mutual encouragement and support, mentoring, outreach, and service.

Inquirer’s Class

The Inquirer’s Class is an opportunity for newcomers to learn about the Episcopal Church. Instruction typically includes information concerning the beliefs, history, worship, and practices of the Episcopal Church. After attending the class, participants may wish to become members of the Episcopal Church through Confirmation or Reception if they have already been baptized. Inquirers who have not yet been baptized may choose to do so in consultation with the Rector.

If you’d like to learn more about Grace Church or the Episcopal tradition, please contact The Rev. Emily Dunevant.
