Grace Union shares a pastor with Winslow United Methodist Church, our partner-church in a two-point charge, and we worship and fellowship together on some special occasions. Winslow UMC also supports our Youth Group and Food Pantry ministries with occasional donations and the use of its fellowship hall for fundraising dinners to help our youth attend the annual IGNITE youth conference. as well.
As one of 72 churches in the Greater New Jersey Conference’s Cape Atlantic District, Grace Union participates in district events and also spearheads the district’s Anti-Poverty Task Force. Our Food Pantry receives food and diapers from the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and shares some of it with the Pinelands UMC’s Nesco Church location. We are exploring other Food Pantry church partnerships also.
District Superintendent the Rev. Derrick Doherty recently presented the conference's (Denman) Laity Evangelism Award to Dave and Wendy Dorfman, who coordinate our Food Pantry and Youth Group ministries.
Since August 2024, Grace Union has provided rental space for worship, Sunday school and other gatherings to New Generation Christian Church, a new Haitian congregation planted in our area.
