Who We Are and What We Believe

As Anglicans we celebrate the Word of God in the Scriptures, the power of prayer and the gift of God in the sacraments established by Jesus Christ. Our principles are: Holy Scripture as the foundational source of our individual and coporate identity, perspective and vision. The Faith of the early and undivided Church as expressed in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, one of which we recite in every service. Celebration of the Sacraments as the means of grace established by Jesus Christ to be done in His Church. The sacrament of baptism is administered every 6-8 weeks as part of the 10 AM service. The Holy Eucharist is celebrated every Sunday at both 8 and 10 AM. The Liturgical Tradition whereby laity can participate in the service. The authorized book used in this congregation is the Book of Alternative Services. Preaching provides an exposition of the Bible relating its message to our modern situation. We believe that through these gifts God transforms our lives.

OUR HISTORY
The first building on this site was a white frame church with a steeple built in 1851. It is still standing as part of the parish hall. The current limestone structure was built in 1895. The stained glass windows tell the story of Christ, beginning at the back entrance and moving clockwise around the church. The oldest windows date to 1895; the newest was installed in 2000.

Supporting Grace
Grace Church is entirely funded by the voluntary contributions of members. We encourage faithful stewardship of our God-given resources by making regular, intentional donations of time, talent and treasure to the church community. A particularly convenient method for financial giving is the Pre-Authorized Payment system, which can be set up through the Diocese of Niagara
