Grace Church Van Vorst

About this church

Grace Church Van Vorst is an Episcopal congregation in downtown Jersey City that holds two Sunday services in the sanctuary, at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. The earlier service is described as quiet and contemplative, using hymnals and bulletins, with healing prayer offered during communion. The 11:00 a.m. service is more contemporary, with words projected on screens and a praise band, and communion is celebrated every Sunday. The 11:00 a.m. service is also streamed by Zoom for people who cannot attend in person. On fifth Sundays the congregation holds a single shared service at 10 a.m., so check the website for current dates.

Children and youth have a regular place in worship. Sunday school runs during both services, a children's sermon opens the later service, and infants and toddlers can use a worship corner in the sanctuary or a nursery area in the gym next door. Teenagers have their own Sunday school class and a youth group that meets every other Sunday. Adults can join a Friday morning Bible study on Zoom, a Christian meditation group that meets online, a parenting group, and a music ministry that rehearses on Thursday evenings and welcomes singers and instrumentalists. The wheelchair-accessible entrance is through the gym at 39 Erie Street, while the main sanctuary entrance is on 2nd Street. Masks are recommended at services.
