History

The History of The Community Center at Grace.

The Community Center at Grace opened its doors in September 2025 as a vibrant new hub for the Jenkintown community and beyond. Made possible through a generous $1.5 million grant from the State of Pennsylvania—matched by an extraordinary $1.6 million commitment from the Congregation of Grace Presbyterian Church—the Center was built as an investment in people, creativity, and connection.

Designed with versatile new spaces for arts, education, recreation, and fellowship, the Community Center seeks to enrich the lives of our neighbors through programming for all ages. From music and mindfulness classes to youth gatherings, art shows, and community celebrations, this space was created to welcome everyone and foster a spirit of belonging.
