We are a faith community committed to to the service and worship of our Lord Jesus Christ. As a vibrant and multigenerational church community, we join God in his redemptive mission in the world. That redemption starts with us; we acknowledge that we need God's love, strength, and forgiveness as we become the people God calls us to be. We are a safe place for questions about God, because we believe that faith is formed over time and in community. Whether your faith is steadfast or searching, Grace is a home where you can bring your whole self - your doubts, your joys, your struggles- and find that you are not alone. We are a local expression in Ocala of the Christian faith, with roots dating back to biblical history and the ancient church. We are apart of the worldwide Anglican Communion, participating in the tradition, liturgy, history, and fellowship of other churches all over the world.

Our faith is rooted in Scripture and formed by liturgy. We believe that the Bible is God's inspired word, which shows us how we come to know God through a relationship with his son, Jesus Christ. The power of the Holy Spirit enables us to live with peace as we go into the world. Ancient rhythms of liturgy shape our lives and draw us into the presence of God. We use the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) as our guide, and the Nicene Creed as our statement of faith.

We value our unity in Christ and accept our differences.We value our deep historical roots, which provide stability for today and for the future.We value our rich liturgy which shapes our worship and our lives.We value our multigenerational and loving family culture.We value the importance of healing.We value the ability to explore faith questions.We value joy and authenticity.We value safety and the safeguarding principles we have in place.We value faith formation and growth as a people created in God's image.We value serving the wider Ocala community.We value our children and teenagers, and are committed to their spiritual growth.

Grace Episcopal Church has roots in Ocala, Florida, that extend back to six families worshiping together in 1849- only four years after Florida became a state. The church building was originally a few blocks away from the current location. In 1904, a skilled crew of five carpenters carefully disassembled the entire building, timber by timber, and used horse-drawn wagons to transport it to be reassembled on a new property on East Broadway, where it still stands today. ​However, Grace is more than an historic landmark. Our generations have lived and loved through the Civil War, two World Wars, the fight for Civil Rights, Vietnam-era strife, and the changing landscape of American Christianity. ​Today, the historic spire of Grace still looks out across downtown Ocala. It invites the community to experience the love of God that has sustained congregations for over a century and a half. The invitation is to cross an arched threshold that opens into the best of what church used to be, and the best that's yet to come.
