The missionary bishop Jackson Kemper conducted occasional Episcopal services in Muncie in the mid 19th century. Grace Mission was begun in 1878, and attained parish status in 1882. Features of the nave include wrought iron works (circa 1930) by Ed Maitlin, including a Litch Gate, Rood Screen, 4 chandeliers symbolizing the four canonical gospels, and the Pulpit of the Beatitudes. The nave was renovated around 1970, and again in 2002. The pipe organ, designed by the Knay Company, Canada, was installed in 1972, and additional ranks were added in 2004 by Reynolds and Associates, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Worship is in the broad church Anglican tradition.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
