                    ![]()  WorshipAcolytes, ushers, Altar Guild, Eucharistic ministers, tech team, musicians, lectors, clergy, congregation: we have participatory roles in worship! As a liturgical Church, our worship isn’t focused on a charismatic individual, it is the shared work of the people. 
 There are many ways to get involved in one of the teams which make our worship life sing! In praise and prayer, celebration, lamentation, story and sacrament, we worship as one, as the Body of Christ.

                    ![]()  Spiritual FormationChristianity is a practice formed by prayer & study, experience, service, wisdom & foolishness, solitude & community, Episcopalians are people of questions more than answers, both/and more than either/or. Recent learning opportunities include: Sacred Ground (film-based dialogues on race), Base Community lectio divina, candlelight labyrinth walks at solstice & equinox. 
 Children & youth learn while serving in worship, Godly Play sometimes is woven into worship. We share activities with other local churches (i.e. Youth, Confirmation preparation, & Vacation Bible School). As our parish grows, programs for children & youth also will grow.

We love our place on the northwest coast of Oregon, and we embrace the challenge of keeping it place fit for purpose at the same time we preserve this extraordinary its history.

                    ![]()  Fiscal MinistriesGrace Episcopal Church’s mission and ministries depend on freewill offerings and pledges of financial support. By the grace of God and the generosity of our friends and neighbors, we are able to provide the necessary materials & staff for worship, study, fellowship, feeding the hungry, and maintaining a safe and inviting facility. 
 A gift is a blessing. A pledge is a commitment and a spiritual practice.
