Grace United Methodist Church
Grace United Methodist Church is a Methodist church in Palestine, TX 75801. It is one of 124 churches in Palestine, and one of 5 Methodist congregations in the city.
Grace Church exists to be a home for people who, like Zacchaeus, have never felt welcome among God’s people, yet have a deep desire to get a glimpse of the one who comes to liberate the world.
As a United Methodist Congregation, Grace Church operates on a simple notion found throughout the Bible: That God is not mad at us. In fact, the cross tells us that God is absolutely crazy about every. single. person. He graciously invites us to trust and follow the way of Christ which leads to abundant and eternal life. So with that simple idea, we invite you to Grace. We promise not to waste your time, but to give you meaningful worship, life-giving messages, and a family to belong and serve. Welcome Home! Welcome to Grace!

Methodism gave the church the class meeting, the circuit rider, and the Sunday school, and gave America the conviction that grace is genuinely for everyone — carried into prisons, mines, and mill towns by preachers who owned almost nothing. Charles Wesley's hymns are still sung in nearly every tradition, most of them by people who have no idea whose they are.
