Grace and Peace Mennonite Church (New York, New York, USA)
The Grace and Peace Mennonite Church in New York, New York, USA began in 2019 when people from a variety of churches began discussing the desire for a worshiping community for people unable to gather in large groups for a variety of reasons. These included mobility issues that made leaving home difficult or sensitivities to loud noises or large groups.
The group has functioned with gatherings that take place almost exclusively online or by phone. The congregation has hosted occasional in-person fun nights.
In 2021 the congregation was a congregation of the Atlantic Coast Conference of Mennonite Church USA. The minister was Anita Castle, who has provided leadership since the group's founding.
