Grace Church began in 2006 a few weeks before Ethan was ordained, and has developed into a multi-staff parish within the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh with about 275 residents and 275 undergraduate students from local colleges. The center of Ethan's ministry and Grace Church's emphasis is the Gospel of Jesus's absolution. In his spare time, Ethan likes to paint, draw, write poetry, cook Indian food, and watch The Office.

Youth (6th-12 grade) who registered as helpers with Saturday Children's Program, can check in with the kids program leaders when they arrive.
On Friday night, we invite teens to a free pizza dinner, game room, and a chance to hear about our Summer 2026 missions trips!
Workshops and plenary sessions have teens in mind. Teens are welcome to join in with the conference and workshops of their choice… and retreat to the supervised game room during free time!
