Grace Episcopal Church

About this church

Grace Episcopal Church worships Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. and Sundays at 10:00 a.m.; the Sunday Eucharist is livestreamed on YouTube. A bulletin provides the complete order, announcements, and page numbers in the Book of Common Prayer and hymnals. Services move from Scripture and sermon to prayers, offering, and Communion. Newcomers are not expected to give, and visitors may explore the stained glass and building at their own pace.

Grace’s welcome promises God’s love to all people without exception. Children’s Chapel meets during the Gospel, sermon, and prayers at the Sunday service, offering an age-appropriate homily and activity before children return to their families at the Peace for Eucharist. Children and teenagers also serve visibly as acolytes and other lay worship ministers, often mentored by older participants. Founded as an Episcopal mission in 1833, Grace now worships at the corner of County and School streets in downtown New Bedford, combining historic Anglican practice with unusually active intergenerational leadership.
