Grace Redeemer Church

What Grace Redeemer Church does

Grace Redeemer Church (GRC) is a Gospel-centered, multi-ethnic Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) congregation established in 1999 in Glen Rock, New Jersey, where it was planted by Redeemer Presbyterian Church of New York City. It serves the Bergen and Passaic county corridor of northern New Jersey with a paid staff of approximately 20, led by Senior Pastor Peter Wang and Executive Director Ken Lont (the latter having served since the church opened). Its core products are ministry services and programs — Sunday worship services (in-person at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM with livestream), a comprehensive demographic-segmented ministry portfolio (Grace Kids for children, New Life for grades 6-12 youth, Crossroads for young adults, women's and men's ministries, Silver Connections for 55+ seniors), and discipleship programming including Growth Groups and Life Groups of 8-12 people meeting in homes across Bergen and Essex counties, Celebrate Recovery, Biblical Counseling, and Adult Christian Education.

The supporting technology stack is standard off-the-shelf SaaS for mid-sized churches: CCB Church for church management and member login, Pushpay for online giving with ACH and text-to-give, a mobile app, livestream infrastructure, Google Analytics, and Zoom for virtual meetings. Community outreach arms include Father's Cupboard food pantry and Refuge 686 foster/adoption care, supported by an annual Missions Conference and diaspora missions partnerships with Global Gates Network and Jews for Jesus. GRC has planted two daughter churches within its first 20 years and is actively recruiting a Church Planting Resident to execute a stated vision of becoming a regional and global church planting center.

GRC's revenue is generated entirely through voluntary congregational giving — tithes and offerings — collected via in-service collection, online giving, text-to-give (text graceredeemer to 833-822-8860), ACH bank transfer with no processing fees, and mail. There is no commercial pricing model, no set giving tiers, and no expectation placed on visitors; corporate matching and stock gifts are also accepted. The church has no disclosed revenue, budget, or membership figures, and operates as a nonprofit congregation under the governance of a Session of elders with Diaconate support and a large volunteer base.
