Why 242?

The 242 in our name comes from Acts 2:42 when a community of Jesus' followers first gathered together to share life and celebrate Jesus. Grace 242 began in much the same way first gathering at a park in Mequon, Wisconsin not as a "church" but as a community of believers who genuinely loved one another. The similarities don't end there.

 

We often hear that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We couldn't agree more. The early believers shared the gospel, as well as their lives, with one another and made disciples. Just like the early church, we want to build authentic relationships with others that always point back to Jesus.
