MISSION OF OUR BUILDING
We see our historic 40,000 square foot facility as a tremendous asset not only to our congregation but also to our community. Our forbearers built a building larger than they could fill in anticipation of the future. Today, our facility has become a cornerstone in the downtown neighborhood and a sought after venue. Besides the programs of the Urban Grace congregation, we open our doors to thousands of people each year as they attend concerts, meetings, and dance classes. We currently house over fifteen nonprofits and arts organizations as well as individual artists and therapists for office space or regular usage.
In alignment with our values, we partner with groups or individuals working in education/advocacy, the arts, social services, and/or worship. We recognize that our historic building is not simply a place where events happen or people work, but it is an integral part of who we are and the legacy we are privileged to continue. Urban Grace is committed to not only preserving our church building, but improving its facilities so that the broader community may benefit into the future. Those before us chose to build, maintain, and uphold a building that was both physically and figuratively bigger than its people in order to serve their community for the long-term. We seek to graciously do the same. ... Learn More About Our Historic Building
