About Grace

The mission of Grace Episcopal Church is to devote ourselves to the teachings of Jesus Christ, to celebrate together the Eucharist, and to spread the knowledge of the love of God throughout our community. The foundation of Grace Church is its loving congregation that welcomes and embraces diversity and seeks to unify people of all ethnic, cultural and economic backgrounds. In accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ, we seek to increase our spiritual growth, to feed the hungry, give relief to the sick, tend to those in need, and promote peace, justice, and love.

Grace Church has a rich heritage of urban outreach and witness for social justice. Grace deeply values this inheritance and works to perpetuate it through the ministries of our congregation. We are a diverse parish — ethnically, culturally, and economically. Our diversity reflects our strong commitment to equality, tolerance, and reconciliation in the world beyond our doors. We believe that the solutions to injustice and violence are found not only in our compassion for and acceptance of each person but in our belief in the love and teachings of Jesus Christ. We are a friendly and receptive parish. We strive to live fully into our Church’s motto, “Friendship and Service,” by being a compassionate and caring community of Christians, serving one another as well as the community at-large.

Our Goals for the Future

• Preserve our diverse congregation and expand our membership by reaching out to students and faculty of nearby colleges, residents in our surrounding neighborhood and members of the greater Syracuse area.
• Grow our financial resources and create ways to increase stewardship and maximize use of facilities to maintain our ability to do great things with limited resources.
• Enhance our outreach mission projects to better serve our community.
• Improve and maintain our excellent pastoral care and Christian Formation programs to provide us with the spiritual support and tools we need to better serve one another as well as those in our community.

About St. Thomas

St. Thomas’ is a small rural victorian-era church located in Slaterville Springs, NY.  Our parishioners form a vibrant and caring community, unified in its determination to worship and thrive with the help of a dedicated part-time rector.  We are a diverse, yet cohesive group, inquiring and inclusive.  We value traditional services with music as an integral component.  We are also open to more modern and progressive approaches to liturgy and theology.  St. Thomas’ taps the talent in the room to host centering prayer, evening prayer, and theological discussions.  Many congregants have strong personal passions which vary from prayer to peace, food security and social justice.  Despite our small numbers, the parish has consistently found ways to engage with the larger world, for example, by partnering with the Episcopal Peace Fellowship, sponsoring a refugee family from Laos, Episcopal Relief and Development, United Thank Offering, and volunteering at a local food pantry.  We have also nurtured several parishioners (including our last rector) who sought to deepen their commitment to the faith by formal study leading to some form of ministry.

We are seeking a part-time rector who will encourage the spiritual development of the congregation; maintain a fine musical tradition; seek to make Jesus’ commandment to love one another relevant to daily life; is willing to preach in a manner which relates to the spiritual life of the community, contemporary issues, and social justice.
