and discover a community growing in faith, hope, and love.
Yesterday, we celebrated Pentecost and were reminded that the movement of the Holy Spirit isn’t just a moment in history—it’s a movement of the heart.
Rooted in Christ; growing in faith, hope, and love.
Join us for worship on Sundays as we grow together—deepening our faith, strengthening our relationships, and following Jesus in community and love. At Grace UCC, we’re more than a congregation; we’re a family in motion, opening our doors wide for worship and offering our lives in faith, hope, and service.
Come and feel the embrace of Grace—a place where all are welcome, the Spirit is stirring, and love leads the way.
Join us for Sunday worship just steps from Allentown’s iconic 8th Street Bridge—a powerful symbol of connection, strength, and grace.
At Grace UCC, we are bridge-builders: growing in faith together, reaching across differences, and creating space where all can belong. As we open our doors for worship and offer our lives in faith, we seek to be a living bridge between God’s love and our Southside community. Come and feel the embrace of Grace—where hearts are open, hope is rising, and love leads us forward.
Pastor Chris is an Allentown native with deep family ties to the Southside and a strong pastoral background in both the city and the greater Lehigh Valley. In every ministry setting—including his current call at Grace UCC on Cleveland Street—he has been drawn to places where the Spirit is stirring something new. Much of his work has focused on helping congregations embrace fresh opportunities for outreach and community presence, always rooted in the real, lived needs of the neighborhoods they serve.
At Grace UCC, that means listening deeply, building trust, and embodying the radical welcome of Christ in the heart of Southside Allentown. The church’s historic building is easily accessible from all parts of the city—including across Allentown’s iconic 8th Street Bridge. That bridge is a fitting symbol for this season of ministry: a church rooted in Christ, growing in faith, hope, and love, and building bridges of blessing and welcome
