About Grace Church

Grace Episcopal Church is a multigenerational, diverse and welcoming Christian community which values shared leadership, service to those in need and nurturing all in the love of God.

Built in 1867, the Grace Church Sanctuary is on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by noted architect Henry Hobson Richardson, it is his oldest surviving Church.
The chimes in the steeple were raised in 1873, and cast by Blake Brothers Company, successor firm to Paul Revere's. The 90-foot tower holds nine bells. The largest bell was given to Grace by the city of Medford for use as a fire-bell.

The stained glass window, “Rebecca at the Well” was created by renowned 19th century artist John LaFarge. Between 1882 and 1957, several additions were made to the church building, including the parish hall and education wings.

Grace Church is a dynamic and vibrant spiritual home to a diverse congregation of over 200 families with different racial, social, ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. Some are lifelong Episcopalians; some were raised in other denominations, all have found Grace Church is their spiritual home.
