Grace United Church History

Grace United Church also has strong roots in Methodism. In 1847, a large frame building was erected on the corner of Chapman and St. George Streets. This building later became the Sunday School Wing of our current church. A Christian Education Wing was built in its place in 1962. The present Sanctuary will seat 300. It has many beautiful stained-glass windows and is architecturally pleasing. An electronic pipe organ captures your attention and is a focal point of the sanctuary. Upgrades to the sanctuary include: a Grand Piano, new sound system, projector and screen, live stream equipment, new lights and the rebuilding of the large stained glass window at the back of the church. The building has been made fully accessible with ramps, an elevator, chairlift and updated washrooms. Several community groups rent the facilities at Grace.

Grace United celebrated its 175th Anniversary in 2022. Activities included: a joint picnic held at Woodhouse; a mini-putt outing to the Arbourtown Mini Golf; creation of a cookbook of favourite recipes from Grace Congregation members; a 2023 calendar that highlights historical events with photos; 175th Anniversary Service with guest speaker Rev. Jenny Stephens and a roast beef dinner for the community.

The membership at Grace over the last 10 years has been changing. Fewer families with young children attend. Long-time family members are represented along with new retirees to Port Dover. Approximately 60 – 70 people attend the worship service. A Music Director provides music for a 20-member choir and inspirational pieces to complement the morning worship. Messy Church and Sunday School programs are currently under review.
