History
Grace was founded as a mission in 1879 and quickly grew to an organized parish by 1881. The congregation had outgrown its first home, a small wooden Gothic building on Forest Avenue, by 1895, when they bought land on Lake Street for the current building. Grace Church broke ground for the present building in 1901, and the nave was completed in 1905. Thereafter, the congregation continued to build according to the original 1898 blueprints until the church and its interior appointments were completed in 1967.
