Our Worship Service
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Grace is currently live streaming our Sunday worship service on YouTube only. In-person attendance and Sunday Church School are temporarily suspended. We strongly believe in maintaining our physical distance but remaining in touch spiritually and socially by video, phone, email, shouting across the yard - whatever it takes.
Subscribe to "Grace Lutheran Church Mendham NJ" on YouTube, or watch for links to be posted on our Facebook page each week leading up to the Sunday 10:00 am live stream.
The doors on the building may be closed, but the church is the people, not a place. We remain welcoming to all who would join us.
Grace Lutheran is a Reconciling in Christ congregation. As Christ’s church, we offer a radical welcome to all people. We recognize that our diversity is a gift from God. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28)
