Becoming a Member
We welcome everyone to participate fully in the Christ-centered life of Grace Church. Membership comes in many forms and is first counted by your presence at worship, your receiving Holy Communion and supporting the ministry of Grace through your time, talent and treasure.
Baptism and Confirmation
To be baptized, please speak with Father Bill. Baptisms are celebrated regularly for children and adults.
To be confirmed or received as a member of our Church, the Sacraments of Confirmation are celebrated with the visitation of our Bishop. Confirmation is the public commitment of our lives to Jesus Christ, and a mature affirmation of our baptismal vows accompanied by the laying on of hands by the Bishop.
If you have already been Confirmed Episcopalian, please contact the parish administrator, Pam Wheatland to request a Letter of Transfer from your previous Parish.
