Urban Grace-The Downtown Church

Urban Grace is an ecumenical church congregation that is multicultural, diverse and welcoming to all; we welcome full participation of people regardless of denominational background, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. We hope to be the open table that Jesus set for all God’s children and offer a nurturing fellowship where it’s safe to wrestle and explore as well as acknowledge the simultaneous joy and pain, blessing and loss of this life. We’re grateful to lean into the truth that we can be “perfectly imperfect” and still be loved, chosen and accepted.
