About Us
Our Mission
The mission of Grace Church is to restore all people to unity with God
and each other in Christ. The Church pursues this mission as it prays and worships,
proclaims the Gospel, and promotes justice, peace and love. The Church carries out
its mission through the ministry of all its members.

Our Core Purpose (Vision)
To be a loving community seeking to restore all to unity
with God and each other in Christ.

Our Core Values:
  • We believe we are saved by grace alone through faith, as it is clearly expressed in the Holy Scriptures. These Holy Scriptures are inspired by God and contain all things necessary for salvation.
  • We believe we are called to be a loving church where members care for each other.
  • We believe that only in Christ can we find unity with God and each other
  • We believe God calls us to have Christian homes and families. A Christian home is centered on Christ and guided by the Biblical principles of faith, hope and love.
  • We believe our mission is Godʼs mission and God calls all believers to engage in ministry to the least and the lost for him.
  • We believe that our people are our biggest asset and all our ministries and programs must have the dual purpose of giving God glory and leading our people to a deeper relationship with God and each other in Christ.
  • We believe in the importance of history and tradition and the passing on of the faith once delivered to the church by Christ.
  • We believe in the value of Christ-centered preaching and teaching.
  • We believe liturgy and music lead us to a closer relationship with God.
  • We believe we are called to be good stewards of our church and our community.


Our Ministry Strategy

1. To build a youth culture where children and youth can come to a saving faith in
Jesus Christ within a loving environment that encourages church involvement and
the development of peer groups.

2. To be a source of comfort and hope to our senior citizens through high quality
fellowship, education, and pastoral care programs that build relationships and reduce
isolation.

3. To leverage our resources as a beautiful historic site and showcase our programs
and ministries through beautiful and relevant printed materials, an interactive
website, historically-sensitive signage, and intentional programs that showcase the
beauty of our grounds and buildings, liturgy, traditions, historic organ, and cemetery.

​4. To provide high quality formation programs for all ages that include Preschool
childrenʼs chapel, bible studies, spiritual formation programs, liturgical studies,
preparation for the reception of sacraments, and newcomer instruction on the history,
theology, and liturgy of the Episcopal Church.

5. To promote and encourage the ministry of all believers in a creative way that
connects people to existing ministries and to new ministries that answer the needs of
our local and universal Church. Chief among this ministry is our mission to the least
and the lost around our communities and throughout our state, country, and world.

6. To encourage and promote biblical, Christ-centered preaching that reinforces our
core beliefs in salvation by grace alone through faith.

7. To be a source of hope and comfort to members who are dealing with illness,
isolation, depression, incarceration, post-operative recovery, and other life conditions
through high-quality pastoral care and visitation programs.

8. To promote the growth of our congregation by training and supporting our members
to be active in befriending and inviting unchurched people to our congregation and by
creating a welcoming and loving atmosphere where visitors feel comfortable and
accepted.

9. To ensure the viability of our congregation through stewardship education programs
and campaigns that build a connection between our faith and our financial support of
Godʼs church and that instill a deeper level of commitment in our parishioners.

10. To be good stewards of the gifts God has given us by taking proper care of our
grounds, buildings, and programs and by remaining committed to the well-being of
Saint Francisville and West Feliciana Parish.
