About Us & Our Mission

God raises up a Calvary Chapel in Downtown Manhattan

Calvary Chapel Lower Manhattan Grace & Hope started as Grace & Hope Ministries of NYC. The story of how God established this church in the heart of Downtown Manhattan is a testament to how God works through a group of men and women from very diverse backgrounds and from different parts of the country to establish His church and bring about His will.

Our mission is to teach the full counsel of God's Word—verse by verse, chapter by chapter, and book by book in New York City, across the nation, and around the World. We invite you to join us in studying Scripture, growing in faith, praying together, building community, and serving both one another and our local neighborhood according to your unique gifts.

Grace & Hope NYC is dually registered in the State of New York as:
Calvary Chapel Grace and Hope NYC
 as
Grace and Hope Ministries of NYC
and as 
Calvary Chapel Lower Manhattan

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 14:6

A Message from Co-Founder
James Bond

Many of us have heard the expression, "timing is everything." I think this is a true statement. I also believe that according to the hand of God there is, "a time and a season," for all things in life. Without question, I believe that God has raised up Calvary Chapel Grace and Hope NYC in Downtown Manhattan, "for such a time as this."

I think it's important to get the word of God out to people who have never heard it before and to get all people thinking seriously about God, worshiping Him, and obeying His word. We're living in critical days; in this context, we need to know and understand the word of God deeply. We need to know what it says, and we need to live it, obey it, and tell others.

Isaiah 55:6 tells us: "Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near." If you have been seeking the Lord or feel that you need a community to help you grow, please come join us. We would love to have you among us, "for such a time as this."
