Grace Episcopal Church Woodlawn was established as Calvary Mission in 1889 and organized as a parish in 1890. The current site was purchased in February 1890 and a wood-framed meeting house erected on the present site by the congregation of about 18 families. The church was admitted to the diocese as a parish on May 22, 1902. The present sandstone building was completed in 1927. Three stained glass windows behind the altar were installed in 1954. The parish hall was built in 1959 and an education and office wing, Henckell Hall, was added in 1974.
Grace Episcopal Church is a fully inclusive, unconditionally loving parish in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. We worship God in the beauty of holiness and share the love of Christ through service in the Woodlawn community and the world.
Our mission can be summarized by four values modeled by Jesus Christ:
How You Can Help
