Grace Church Community Center

About

Welcome to the website of Grace Church! Grace /La Gracia is a unique community.  Most churches make that claim about themselves, but Grace has solid grounds for doing so.    At a time when prejudice and division seem to be driving forces, Grace Church is a family of different races, cultures, languages and lifestyles.  We have as one of our goals to model God’s love.   It is not always easy, but there is an energy generated by our fellowship together that feeds us all. This is also a church that seeks to be a generous and effective participant in its community.   Through Lifting Up Westchester we help to run shelters for men and women, a soup kitchen, a mentoring program, and several other outreaches.  Through Downtown Music we help to offer a lively and high quality music program here in White Plains.  Our members are involved in a wide variety of causes and organizations, from Bread for the World to Urban League to Boy Scouts.  Our involvement goes beyond our immediate community.  Caribbean Ministries helps support schools and ministries in several of the islands.  We have a connection with El Hogar Projects in Honduras, and have sent two groups there for volunteer and learning projects. We have a special concern for our children and young people.  We provide nursery care during our main service, and there is Christian education for all ages.  The third Sunday of every month is especially devoted to our children, who do the readings and prayers.  On those Sundays, in place of a sermon, there is a special presentation designed with the children in mind. We are, above all, a worshipping community.  Our worship is in the Episcopal tradition, with all its sacramental mystery and beauty.  The Episcopal Church is a faith tradition that is very open to questioning and is tolerant of different opinions and lifestyles.  If you think you might enjoy worshipping and working with a diverse, opinionated, lively, inclusive, dedicated, funny, compassionate and positive group of people, please come and join us!
