   Our Mission Statement

Because we are unconditionally loved by God
We are called to do the same in thought, word and deed with our family, Community and world.

     We are children and servants of God. We believe that we have received salvation through the grace of God and    Jesus Christ. We are guided in our thoughts, prayers, and actions by: the Bible, the Holy Spirit who dwells within    each of us, and our Church's (PCUSA) traditions.

     We develop our faith through worship, prayer, and Christian Education. This prepares us for local and global    missions, community involvement, and spreading God's good news to others. We are strengthened in our service   to God through the support and fellowship of the Christian family of Grace Presbyterian Church. All people are   welcome and encouraged to join our church family.

We're Here To Help

     Our service to Jesus begins with taking care of ourselves (nine deacons care for shut-ins, the sick, and the   distressed), but we also reach out to the community. An active prayer chain brings many issues before God in   prayer. We also reach out with volunteer help to various community organizations. Our mission dollars are    currently distributed among the following: Winona Volunteer Services, Women's   Resource Center, Winona Hospice Coalition, Home Share (SEMCAC), DARE, and our denominational missions    (Theological Education Fund, General Assembly Synod, Presbytery, One Great Hour of Sharing, Peacemaking   Fund, Christmas Joy Offering, etc.). Other mission organizations receive funds from time to time as various needs arise.

We're Here For The Long Haul
 History of Grace Church

     In 1952, Grace Presbyterian Church was formed through the merger of two churches: an English-speaking    Presbyterian church established in 1856; and a predominantly German Presbyterian church established in 1864.   As a member of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., we have solid traditions, doctrines and support which tie us to   the larger Body of Christ. Our congregation of approximately 140 adult members is committed to serving our   Lord, and to one another.
