Worship at Grace
Worship is at the heart of what we do as a congregation. The Holy Spirit calls us into community , and as we gather to hear the Word and receive the Body and Blood of Christ, we are strengthened to go out into the community to serve others.
Worship at Grace is traditional and liturgical. We have a wonderfully live acoustic in both our nave and chapel, and both spaces are ideal for singing and making music. The song of the congregation is the primary music at each service, and it is supported by our two wonderful pipe organs, our choirs and brass and bell groups.
The historic liturgy unites our worship with the Church in many places and many times, and connects all our generations together. We use the music of our heritage, as well as the finest music of the present and music from other cultures and places.
Please join us for worship and lend your voice and heart to that eternal stream of song praising our Maker and Redeemer!
