Grace and Holy Spirit Church 
an
Episcopal and ELCA Lutheran
Christian Faith Community 
 

We have been sharing worship together under one roof for over a decade. On Pentecost Sunday, June 2014, we voted to formally merge together under New York State law as a Religious Association with the name Grace and Holy Spirit Church.  Like other similar congregations around the country, we are led by a shared board and we share both Episcopal and ELCA Lutheran traditions when we pray together. 

 

We remain a stable presence of mainline Christian faith in the heart of downtown Cortland. In a contemporary social environment, Grace and Holy Spirit Church stays vital and grows with the addition of new members. As servants of Christ, we actively reach out to the hungry, the poor, the broken, and people with disabilities. All are welcome! We look to a bright future as a small church that makes a big difference in the world, for Christ!
