meetings at private houses followed, until April 16th, 1873, when, at the residence of George Crump, 201 East Maple Avenue, the parish was incorporated October 5, 1873. A neat wooden chapel was erected in 1878 at the corner of Centre street and Park avenue, the pulpit was occupied by several transient ministers, yet the Rev. Richard George Moses became the first permanent minister and still holds that position.

Grace Episcopal Church is a well-preserved example of Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture. Its most significant feature is the square tower with crenelated parapet and conical side tower and features a 47 bell carillon. We look forward to sharing in this time of faith and celebration with everyone!
