About Grace Church Grace Church In New York is a growing and inclusive Episcopal community in Greenwich Village that has served its members, neighbors, and visitors through a variety of ministries and programs since 1846. We enjoy an especially close relationship with this neighborhood south of Union Square, and over time, our membership has come to represent a diversity of faith backgrounds. The doors of our magnificent church are open every day, and we strive to serve the people who come inside regardless of who they may be. All are welcome. Grace Church is recognized as an architectural masterpiece and classified accordingly with three significant distinctions: New York City Landmark; National Register of Historic Places; and National Historic Landmark. Position Summary The Director Buildings and Grounds is responsible for the daily supervision and care of the collection of buildings and grounds of Grace Church.
