WELCOME TO GRACE OPC! 

On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  It is my hope and prayer that as we gather together this Lord’s Day to worship our Triune God and Redeemer, you will be encouraged to cast your cares upon the Lord and to draw near to God by faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are new here in Fair Lawn, please join us for fellowship following the benediction, and be sure to sign our guestbook.  We look forward to personally speaking with you, and if there are any prayer concerns in your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.   

                                                             Pastor John Keegan 

This Lord’s Day we welcome back to the pulpit Rev. Young Jae Lee. This morning, in Exodus 33:1-23, we will learn that God answers Moses’s plea graciously because of His covenant through the Mediator, Jesus Christ.

This evening, in Matthew 10:16-33, we will see that every Christian is called to acknowledge the Father God in the midst of the expected struggles of man, knowing who He is.
