Faith that takes root.

Grace that takes action.

At Grace Episcopal Church in Rice Lake, we believe that spiritual life is meant to be lived — not just on Sundays, but in everyday service, connection, and community care.

Rooted in the Episcopal tradition and open to all, we gather to grow in faith, support one another with compassion, and get our hands dirty in the work of love — whether it’s showing up for a neighbor, feeding the hungry, or creating space for reflection in a noisy world.

We are grace in motion. Come move with us.

Part of Something Bigger
Grace Episcopal Church is proud to be one of four congregations that make up the Northern Highlands Benefice — a collaborative ministry of Episcopal churches across northwestern Wisconsin. Alongside St. Alban’s in Spooner, St. Luke’s in Springbrook, and Ascension in Hayward, we share clergy, worship rhythms, and a commitment to building faithful, connected communities in rural spaces. Each church keeps its own heart and heritage, but together we support one another in serving, learning, and growing — from Rice Lake to the Northwoods and beyond.
