Grace - A Church For All People!
Our Vision –
Grace seeks to be a visible sign of God’s love in this world!
God calls us, Grace Episcopal Church, Massapequa, to be a welcoming home for Christian families, individuals, and youth who seek spiritual enrichment and comfort.
We are an intergenerational Episcopal parish -- a congregation that lives its mission through service to those among us, and others, who are in need. We are a fellowship of Christian people committed to worshipping God and serving Him in the Church and the world. As a parish family, we find joyful unity in the grace of God the Father, the love of Jesus Christ, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
All are welcome to worship with us, and all who have been baptized in the name of The Trinity are welcome to share in the Eucharist.
The Rev. Dr. Walter V. Hillebrand, Rector
Parish Prayer
Almighty God, your loving providence has brought us together into the sacred fellowship of this parish. Help us, we pray, to worship you with such holy worship, to serve you with such unselfish love, and to give so generously, for the extension of your kingdom, that we may become worthy members of your Holy Catholic Church, and that our parish may faithfully fulfill its mission - - to serve the Lord through: education within the Christian environment, responsible stewardship and witness and service to the wider community through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and resigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever, Amen Nov 23, 1986, rev. 2000
