Urban Grace is a welcoming and inclusive community that celebrates diversity and values the unique contributions of every individual. We embrace people from all backgrounds, identities, and life experiences, ensuring a space where everyone feels accepted and valued.
In 2005, a group of dedicated community leaders in Tacoma came together to discuss what downtown Tacoma needed most. They envisioned a space deeply committed to supporting the underserved, engaging with the arts, fostering inclusivity, and bringing people together across diverse traditions. This vision became Urban Grace – a community hub dedicated to these ideals.
However, the roots of Urban Grace trace back to the late 19th century. While Urban Grace itself is a more recent initiative, its foundation lies in a legacy of service and connection that began with the establishment of a community organization in 1883. This enduring history continues to inspire Urban Grace’s mission of inclusivity, creativity, and social impact in downtown Tacoma.
Our Purpose
The purposes of Urban Grace Ministries will be carried out through various initiatives, including community outreach, collaboration with other organizations, participation in local activities, and life coaching. These efforts aim to support individuals and foster a sense of belonging. Some of these initiatives are already active, while others are in development or planned for the future, ensuring a lasting positive impact on the community.
