BELIEVE IN THE LOVE AND SPIRIT OF THE CHURCH
AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY FOR ALL WHO
WELCOMING YOU HOME
We at Grace Episcopal Church glorify God and strive to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with Love, through worship, outreach, study, and fellowship.
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
The Episcopalians of Port Jervis incorporated in 1853. First services were held in a rented room and, in time, a chapel was built. The congregation soon outgrew that building and needed a larger church. Property was bought and a church was built in 1870. By 1879 the congregation had again outgrown its building and so the current church was built on donated property in 1891.
ACTIVITIES & OUTREACH
Grace Church offers a variety of activities and outreach programs throughout the year to serve our parishioners and the community. Grace Church believes as a member of the larger community, it is our duty to help our neighbors.
