Location
Grace Church is located up the hill from Main Street and the Galena river. Any GPS search will easily find us. Parking in a historic town is not a simple matter. We have a small parking lot we reserve for handicapped stalls (official or just needed), you may park on Prospect Street for church events, and it's also a pleasant walk to church from several nearby streets. Look for our stone building: you can enter either those historic red doors up the stone steps, or to your left through the modern Parish Hall is a more accessible entrance door. At either door, a friendly person will greet you and help you find your way.
About the Episcopal Church
"Episcopal" just means we have Bishops as a key part of our church governance. You can meet our local Bishop Paula Clark here, and our national Bishop Sean Rowe here. But we also have a local board of elected leaders (not clergy), which we call a Vestry, and our own priest, the Rev. Dr. Paula Harris. Read more about us here in Galena. We're serious about keeping kids and vulnerable people safe. Our safe church practices here. Read more about the Episcopal Church in the USA. Here's what we believe.
