Grace Episcopal Church

Welcome to Grace Episcopal Church

Grace Episcopal sits at the corner of Merrimon Avenue and Ottari Street and serves North Asheville with prayer, teaching, and practical care. When you arrive, you receive a bulletin that guides you through the liturgy. Scripture is read with clarity. The sermon helps you connect faith to your week. Music supports congregational participation. Communion is offered each Sunday and all baptized Christians are invited to receive. If you are exploring faith, you are welcome to come forward for a blessing. Greeters will answer questions about children, accessibility, and parking.

Your path into community is straightforward. Start with worship. Stay for coffee. Meet a priest or lay leader and ask about the best next step for your season of life. Grace offers formation for all ages, from Godly Play for children to classes and discussion groups for adults. If you want to serve, you can join teams that support neighbors through shelter partnerships, meal programs, and local ministry networks. If you need a quiet evening, try the weekly Taizé service. The space, silence, and simple prayers will steady you after a full day.
