Grace and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church is a historic church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. Its buildings—which include a parish hall, bell tower, sanctuary and educational wing built between 1894 and 1955—represent a cohesive and mature expression of Gothic Revival and Tudor Revival architecture and have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2011. The congregation dates to 1872, when Grace Episcopal Church was formed as the first Episcopal church in Colorado Springs. This congregation split in 1893, forming St. Stephen's, which moved to the church's present-day site in 1895. The congregations reunited as Grace and St. Stephen's in 1923 and completed the large Gothic Revival sanctuary in 1926. The congregation split again in 2007 during the Anglican realignment. After courts determined that the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado was the owner of the building, the former rector and a number of members formed a new church that met in a separate facility.
