No one has greater love than this, than to lay down one's life for one's friends - John 15:13
Dear Visitor,
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Grace Chapel. We hope you find this site to be informative, and that it encourages you to come and participate in our worship service in person.
But even more, our hope is that you would personally know the great love and compassion Jesus Christ has for you as an individual - no matter what struggles or challenges you face in your life - and that you would know Him as your Lord and friend.
In the meantime, please read below to understand our beliefs as a Brethren Assembly, or about the history of the Brethren in North Jersey here. May God bless you as you earnestly seek Him.
Grace Chapel stands as a witness to the historic Christian Faith.
We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for believers on matters of faith and conduct. We believe God is the Creator and Governor of the universe; Jesus Christ, our Lord, is the Son of God from all eternity and the Savior of mankind; and the Holy Spirit guides and comforts believers in this age. We believe that man was created in God's image, but as a result of sin, all men need salvation. God dealt with the problem of sin at the Cross; He sent His own Son to die on the cross and pay the penalty for all of our sins.
This was His gift to us. Anyone who accepts that gift - Christ's death and resurrection - and trusts Jesus Christ as his or her own Savior is assured of eternal life with God. We believe the Church is composed of all who have trusted in Christ, and that all believers are privileged to worship and serve God as directed by the Holy Spirit.
