Grace Lutheran Church had its beginning in Union in 1937, intitially meeting in various
storefronts and an American Legion Hall before building its first worship facility in 1946.
During its 70 years of existence, Grace has been served by only three pastors, the founding
pastor, Rev. Henry vonSpreckelson 1937-1973, Rev. Donald Sandmann 1973-1980, and our
current pastor the Rev. Donald Brand who has served us since 1981. Originally, the majority
of Graces's membership came from Union Township. Today about half of Grace's
membership comes from Union, while the other half comes from surrounding communities.

St. Matthew's Lutheran Church For The Deaf
Grace Lutheran Church
St. Matthew's Lutheran Church for the Deaf began in 1937 as a mission of St. Matthew's
Lutheran Church in Newark, N.J. It was served by missionaries until 1950 when a full-time
pastor was installed. In 1952, shortly after Rev. C. Roland Gerhold, was installed, the
congreation worshipped in its own facility for the first time. After being served by two more
pastors and moving to Clifton N.J. St Matthew's has now relocated to Grace Lutheran
Churc, where it utilizes the services of interpreters. This arrangement works out well and
has enabled St. Matthew's to stabilize itself and plan for its ministry growth and expansion.
