Grace and St. Peter’s Church, Episcopal church in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, United States
Grace and St. Peter's Church is a stone church building with Gothic Revival architecture located in Mount Vernon. The structure features pointed arches, tall windows that flood the interior with light, and Victorian-era design elements throughout.
The church was formed in 1912 from the merger of two older congregations: St. Peter's Church founded in 1803 and Grace Church established in 1850. This union brought together two separate Anglican communities into a single lasting institution.
The church blends Anglican traditions with strong community roots, maintaining formal liturgies and music programs that draw worshippers from different backgrounds. It serves as a spiritual home for many with ties to Baltimore's Chinatown neighborhood.
The building welcomes visitors and holds services throughout the week at various times. The location in Mount Vernon makes it easy to reach and explore the neighborhood on foot.
A striking feature is the significant Chinese presence within the congregation, with roughly one-third of members having Chinese heritage. This connection to the local Chinatown community gives the church a distinctive role in the neighborhood.
