Watch LiveAbout Us
Visitors describe Grace as warm, accepting, and full of love. We do all that we can, with God’s help, to live up to those words! At Grace, we value community (our relationships with God, with one another, and with our neighbors), serving others (outreach and pastoral care), and spiritual growth (worship, education, and prayer).
Grace was founded in downtown Sheffield in 1887. In 1967, we moved to our present location in the heart of the Shoals, about as close as you can get to where Sheffield, Tuscumbia, Muscle Shoals, and Florence meet. Grace is one of three Episcopal congregations in our area, along with Trinity and St. Bartholomew’s in Florence. You can learn more about the Episcopal Church in Alabama by visiting dioala.org
As Grace looks toward the future, we want to strengthen our bonds with Jesus and with one another- especially among visitors, newcomers, and seekers. We want to engage the larger Shoals community in meaningful ways, both through acts of service and through events geared toward the public at large. Finally, as our youngest members enter high school and college, we want to nurture and support a new generation of children. We are committed to praying for and making space for families and parents of all kinds who seek to raise their children in an environment where they will come to know the unconditional love of God through Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and through the acceptance and encouragement of a community of faith.




Our Rector
The Reverend Danielle Thompson
Danielle was called to Grace in July, 2020. Growing up, her family lived in the Midwest, Texas, Louisiana, New York, New England, and even Belgium! Danielle was raised in the churches of Christ and attended Lipscomb University. She joined the Episcopal Church in Nashville in 2003 and was ordained in 2010, having earned a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt Divinity School, and a Master of Sacred Theology degree from The University of the South.
Danielle is married to Josh Davis, a Shoals native, and they have two sons, Joshua and Jem. She looks forward to a day when dogs and people can worship together every week, not just on Pet Blessing Sunday!
Danielle loves to welcome visitors, to meet members of the larger community, and to spend quality time in prayer, study, and fellowship with the people of Grace. Please do not hesitate to be in touch with her by emailing or calling the Parish Office, or by texting or calling her mobile phone.

All Saints' Services
Sunday, November 2
9:30 AM at Grace
3:00 PM at St. John’s
Every November, Christians throughout the world pause to remember and give thanks for “those we love, but see no longer.” Grace celebrates this tradition on the first Sunday in November with Holy Communion, during which we read the names of departed loved ones. Later that day, we host a community prayer service, using a historic liturgy, at St. John’s in Tuscumbia. All are invited to and welcome at both services- these are not “member only” events!
If you would like to add a departed loved one’s name to our list (whether you plan to attend worship or not) please email Lane in the office at gracesheffieldoffice@gmail.com.
