Thank you to the many individuals and congregations in the Diocese of New Jersey for making this possible. All of the money raised for this round of grants comes from the generosity of parishioners, churches, and friends of the Diocese of New Jersey. Your support in the launch of ECS-NJ is appreciated, which strengthens the fulfilment of Christian responsibilities as children of God and heirs of heaven.
ECS-NJ was developed in 2020, creating a place in our diocese to support one another, to meet immediate critical human needs in the communities that comprise our diocese, and to advocate for a more just and equitable world. ECS-NJ invites us all to walk with Christ and make a positive impact on our communities, serving as a constant reminder of our interdependence and of our shared commitments to Discipleship and the Baptismal Covenant.
Together we are stronger
