Grace in The Plains is a house of prayer for all people and a community center serving our Northern Piedmont region and beyond. We offer regular worship in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition, small groups engaging scripture, offer a variety of community concerts throughout the year, conduct daily Christian formation for children and families through Grace Montessori School, serve as a regional performing arts center, and meet the needs of housing and food insecure members of our community through Peas and Grace ministries.
We invite you to stay connected with everything we have to offer by subscribing to our weekly digital newsletter, The GraceVine.
Grace in The Plains is a place of spiritual growth and renewal in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition. We are a community of faith where the word and sacraments of Jesus Christ are shared with love. As a community church, we share the blessings we receive and minister to the spiritual and social needs of our neighbors near and far. In everything we do, we celebrate with great joy the unconditional embrace of Christ’s love, making every effort to remove barriers that separate people from the love of God.
Wherever you are on your faith journey, you are welcome here.
