Get Involved in Parish Life
Adult Ministries
From Wednesday evening Bible Study to our weekly lecture series, The Sunday Forum, Grace Church offers numerous opportunities for adults to grow in their faith, grapple with difficult questions, and broaden their community.
Canterbury Downtown for college students and events for parishioners in their 20s and 30s provide unique avenues for young adults to engage with the church, while the Grace Church Women (GCW) and women’s Bible Study offer dedicated space for women of the parish to connect with the word of God, with each other, and with the local community.
Children, Youth, and Families
It is a joy to see the children and youth of our parish engage with the word of God in Scripture, lift up their voices in song, and grow into adults who carry God’s love with them into the world. There are weekly opportunities for children to take part in the life of Grace Church. Our professionally-staffed nursery for children ages 0-4 and our children’s chapel for children ages 5-12 welcome little ones every Sunday and help make Grace Church an engaging place for our youngest parishioners.
Newcomers
Newcomer events are held throughout the year and are a great way to connect with other newcomers and parishioners at Grace Church. We invite you to fill out our online newcomer form and subscribe to our mailing list to stay informed about upcoming newcomer events and other opportunities to connect.
Outreach
Grace Church is dedicated to serving our neighborhood, community, and city. We work with partner organizations throughout the year, helping alleviate the stresses of homelessness and hunger for those in need. Together, we strive to do our part, building up the Christian community and the Body of Christ.
Baptism
At Grace Church, you will find a large, loving, and supportive family of Christians who will do all in their power to encourage you in your life in Christ. The sacrament of baptism takes place during a weekly, public worship service about once a month. If you are interested in learning more about baptism for yourself or your child, please review some of the most frequently asked questions we receive.
Weddings
There is something magnificent about a Grace Church wedding. If you are considering getting married at Grace Church, we have compiled a short list of items that couples should know about weddings at the church.
Columbarium
One of the great promises of the Christian faith is that death has lost its power to separate us forever from our loved ones. Because of Easter – because Jesus Christ has been raised from death – we trust that we too shall enjoy eternal life in God’s heavenly kingdom. If you are planning for the burial of a loved one and would like to learn more about the Grace Church Columbarium, please review the following materials.
Grace Cares
Would you like a visit at home or at the hospital? Do you need assistance in getting to church or an appointment? Are you struggling and in need of a friendly phone call? Would you like the Sunday lessons read to you or the service bulletin brought to you? Would you like to receive communion in your home? Grace has a pastoral care team that provides these services and more.
