At Grace Church we strive to cultivate an open, inclusive, and affirming environment for all who would come - embracing people of every race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, ability level, education level, and religious background. Our understanding of the Bible calls us to acknowledge the inherent dignity of every human being, and we believe that Jesus' love extends to all. In our view, diversity was God's idea in the first place! At Grace you will find that our parishioners and clergy come from all walks of life: lifelong Tennesseans and immigrants, trans and cis, queer and straight, poor and wealthy, liberal and conservative. We hope you will come experience our congregation for yourself. We look forward to welcoming and learning more about you!
