Grace Church Van Vorst

Grace Church Van Vorst Grace Church Van Vorst, an Episcopal, progressive, inclusive urban congregation in Jersey City. You're welcome at Grace Church Van Vorst.

Situated in historic downtown Jersey City, members and friends of Grace come from two blocks away and from the far corners of the world. Our congregation includes straight folks, LGBTQ+ folks, singles, couples, and every kind of family. Some of us come from conservative religious backgrounds, some from progressive ones, and some from no religious background at all. We are recognizable as an Episcopal Church in the way we worship and have an evangelical joy about the Good News of God in Christ.

POV: Church ended 30 minutes ago, but nobody’s ready to leave. 😂 When church feels like family, the conversations don’t end when the service does. 💕

FACES OF GRACE: The Dawson Family 🌿

Meet Emily, Ted, Abigail, and Margaret!

When the Dawsons moved to JC two years ago, they visited Grace Church, joined us for Vacation Bible School, and fell in love with Grace’s quirky, warm, and lively community. Today, Grace Church is a true family affair—Ted lends a hand with our Children’s Ministry, and Emily sings in the choir! 🎶 We’re so blessed to have families like the Dawsons in our parish. Come find your home here this Sunday!

“Sometimes when we ask for light, Christ gives us himself in the darkness.” A powerful reminder from Sunday’s guest sermon from Stoyan. As a new week begins, we’re still reflecting on this truth and the hope found in Christ’s presence. 🙏

One service, double the fellowship! 🌿

Joining us this Sunday? Don’t forget we’re on our 5th Sunday schedule, which means one combined worship service at 10:00 AM!

Stick around after service—our Young Adults group is gathering for brunch at Hudson Hall around 11:30 AM. It’s the perfect time to connect, grab a bite, and meet some new faces. All are welcome at the table!

Regular 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM services resume next week.

FACES OF GRACE: Meet Joshua! 👋✨

📍 At Grace since: This summer!
❓ Three words to describe Grace: Welcoming. Community. Family.

Though Joshua is one of our newest members at Grace, it didn’t take long for this place to feel like home. With his dad serving as one of our church wardens, Joshua has experienced firsthand how quickly the Grace community wraps its arms around you.

Finding a space where you feel an instant sense of belonging is special—and whether it’s your first Sunday or your hundredth, there’s always a seat saved for you here. ❤️
