Worship | Grace Episcopal | Church

Our Worship

Our worship services follow the Book of Common Prayer and other authorized liturgical resources of the Episcopal Church. Sunday Mornings we worship at 9am and 11am. Each service has the same readings, prayers, sermon, and Holy Communion. The main difference between the two is the music style. Visit our Kids Ministry page for details for kids during and in-between services.

Special services like baptisms, weddings, and funerals are some of the wonderful ways Grace Church seeks to support and celebrate the growth in faith and sacramental moments in life.

Special Services

In times of grief, our faith is essential to give us strength, hope, and comfort. From care provided to a family, to the holy moments of a funeral service, this is one of the times that the Generous Hearts of Grace Church matters most. Whether it is in the church, at the graveside, or another location, our clergy are available to care for your family and officiate the burial liturgy. The liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer is a beautiful service that maintains that fine balance of our grief and loss, but also our hope in Christ Jesus and resurrection life.

Contact our clergy in the event of a death for help planning a service for your loved one. Our clergy can also help you pre-plan your service well in advance so that it is everything you want it to be. We do not have a fee for a funeral service, but certain honorariums may apply should you have musicians, live streaming technicians, or catering needs. We also have a columbarium in our Sanctuary allowing for a holy resting place.

Holy Matrimony is the sacrament of Christian Marriage, in which two people enter into a lifelong union, make their vows before God and the Church, and receive the grace and blessing of God to help them fulfill their vows (Book of Common Prayer, 1979, page 861). This lifelong commitment is a spiritual union, a mutual consent of heart, mind, and will of the couple. It is intended by God for their mutual joy, for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity or adversity, and when it is God’s will for the procreation and nurture of children in the knowledge and love of the Lord (BCP 423).

Our clergy meet with couples several times for marriage preparation, and sometimes refer out to marriage counselors, to help ensure that each couple has a solid foundation to begin their married life. Check out our full Wedding policy for details, fees, and honorariums.

Baptism is the first sacrament of the Christian life. It is a commitment of faith in Christ and a promise to live out the ways of Jesus in our lives. Baptisms are typically done during a Sunday morning service. The Baptismal Covenant from the Book of Common Prayer outlines the life we seek to live “with God’s help.” Once baptized, a person is encouraged to receive Holy Communion regularly, which is the spiritual food that sustains us for the baptized life.

An adult baptismal candidate at Grace Church typically finishes our Foundations of Grace Course and meets with a clergy person for preparation. In the Episcopal Church, we baptize infants and children as well. We do so with an understanding that parents and the church will continue to teach and form the child to understand their baptism more and more as they grow up. Every baptismal candidate needs two baptized sponsors (parents, godparents, or friends) to present them, and to turn in a Baptism Intent form. Kids will also do baptismal preparation with our Children's Minister.

Sunday
9am Worship

This service draws heavily on hymns from the 1982 Hymnal, with a few spirituals and contemporary pieces blended in. Music is usually led by piano and a vocal ensemble, and guest instrumentalists throughout the year.

Sunday
11am Worship

This service uses contemporary music, hymns, and originals by our Music Minister, Kyle Gossett. You won’t find all our songs on Christian radio, because most of our favorites are liturgically minded and not “pop” Christian. Our band, vocalists, and guest instrumentalists do an incredible job being rooted in tradition, yet a fresh expression of it.
