Mission & Values

Grace Church Woodlawn 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 Core Values

Four values modeled by Jesus Christ summarize our mission

Service

We believe that we receive Christ in the Eucharist (our spiritual food) so we have the strength to work together in the world to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, comfort the lonely, and heal the sick.

Inclusion

We desire to have members of every gender, identity, orientation, income, and ethnicity. We believe the only way the Church can function today as the Body of Christ is with such inclusiveness.

Diversity

We believe the Church should be a community filled with various faces, beliefs, and households.

Hospitality

Every person and family is welcome to become part of Grace and will be completely and immediately embraced with Christ’s unconditional love.

Wherever you are in life or in faith, know that you will be welcome at Grace.

Whether you seek beautiful liturgy and music, the companionship of a loving and joyful community, or a place that celebrates the diversity of God’s people, you will find a home at Grace. Perhaps you have questions about faith or religion, wonder what it means to be “Christ-like” rather than merely “Christian,” or have gifts you wish to share in service to others. Whatever brings you here, we welcome your desire to ease suffering, inspire hope, and build lasting friendships rooted in trust and a common mission.

We invite you to visit us, worship with us, serve with us, and simply be with us.

The Holy Spirit is moving in and through Grace Church, Woodlawn. Come and join us as we answer the call of the Spirit in worship and service. You just might feel the Holy Spirit moving in you, too.
