Arts and Music
In the area of fine arts, there are the Concert Band, the Women's Chorale, Resonate, the Handbell Choir, and most notably the Grace Chorale, which tours regularly across the United States and overseas. Intramural sports are also offered, as well as opportunities for drama. The various dorm halls compete in creative contests, such as who can come up with the most bizarre holiday decorations.
While Grace maintains its Mennonite heritage and has yet to change its doctrinal stance, the college is now officially nondenominational, accepting students from a variety of churches and backgrounds. A majority of the student body hails from the Great Plains.
