Why we do this
Twenty years of community care
For twenty years in Hackensack, Grace Place was known for community care celebrations: mobile food pantries, back to school supplies, and resources for families who needed them.
Now we call Garfield home, and we're bringing that same heart to our new neighbors. This dinner is our way of saying: we're here, we're for you, and there's a place for you at our table.
Celebration Weekend
Stay for Sunday
The celebration continues! Join us Sunday, November 22 at 10:00 AM for our 23rd Church and Pastoral Anniversary, celebrating 23 years of God's faithfulness with Pastors Arthur and Alverna Shadwick.
