Who We Are
Grace Church in Freeport, Illinois embraces a diverse and inclusive congregation. We are part of the world-wide Anglican Communion, in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.
What We Believe
Like Christians around the world, we believe in Jesus Christ, as expressed in the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. We believe in the Holy Scriptures, understood by faith, reason and tradition.
How We Serve
Grace Church carries out the ministry of Jesus Christ through a range of committees, guilds, organizations and community service groups.
The Holy Eucharist
Our entire Sunday worship service at Grace Church is called The Holy Eucharist, which means “Thanksgiving” taken from the ancient Greek term.
