Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals

Sacraments at Grace Church: There are moments in life that can lead one to seek a connection with a community of faith – the birth of a child, the start of a marriage, the death of a loved one. We invite you to be among us at these important life moments.

The Calling of Grace Church, Amherst

GraceChurch_footerGrace Church at 14 Boltwood Ave., Amherst, MA is a continuing embodiment in the world of the divine fellowship of the Holy Trinity, reflecting its love, hospitality, and justice among our membership and in our life and work together. We seek to deepen our sense of identity as the risen Body of Christ and to share the divine life of the One who shares our humanity. As we more fully live this truth--that we are one with Christ -- we are drawn into the very heart of the Trinity, where our individual and corporate lives are marked by effusive love, tenderness, trust, and admiration.
