Grace Episcopal Church

Church

Grace Church was established in 1840 by a small group of Episcopalians living in Lexington among the predominantly Presbyterian inhabitants of the town and Rockbridge County. Its earliest mission focused on providing a religious home for the cadets of Virginia Military Institute and the students at Washington College, now Washington & Lee University.


The mission of Grace Episcopal Church today is to share in the redeeming work of God by proclaiming the Gospel of Christ, by worshipping Jesus as Lord, by growing in the knowledge of God and God's will for our parish, and by building the fellowship of Christ's body, the Church.
