Father Doug Yarbrough and Rev. Eileen O'Shea would like you to know that there are no strangers that walk through the doors of Grace Episcopal... just friends we haven't met yet!

HISTORY

Grace Church was started by a Layreader, George Buzzell, from Sheboygen, Wisconsin, who travelled west holding services along the way. He settled in Nampa and held the first service here on March 26, 1889.

It was the first church service and the first denomination to hold services in Nampa. The present church was built beginning July 7, 1940, and was consecrated on December 18, 1940, by the Idaho Bishop F. B. Bartlett. At that time the Rev. Cecil McKay was rector. Father Milt Holmes is the 15th rector to serve here.
