In August 1961, the congregation voted to relocate to its present site. For nearly 150 years we have maintained a family-centered ministry, while at the same time taking an active role in outreach and missions. In 1992, the Grace Congregation renovated the facility and created Grace Christian Child Care, a ministry that cares for over 100 children each day. In response to our growing congregation and a desire for more opportunities for ministry, the congregation voted in 1997 to expand our facility by building a new sanctuary, classrooms, office suite, kitchen, and fellowship hall.

Hummelstown Area Historical Society
The Hummelstown Area Historical Society was founded in 1971 by a group of residents who wanted to preserve artifacts which illustrate the history of the community. These residents desired to establish an organization which would not only preserve, but educate and disseminate historical information to residents, students, and scholars. This became the mission of the Society and today, their original commitment to this mission has become even stronger. The Society’s Constitution also provides for “the preservation of the material and accessibility, as far as feasible, to all who wish to examine or study it.”

Donations of “gently used” in-style clothing—especially children’s and teens—are encouraged during shop hours and may be placed on the cart outside. We accept clothing for all shapes and sizes, though inventory varies throughout the season dependent upon quality donations.
Shepherd’s Closet opened in February 2004 in response to a community need for no-cost clothing. We do not require financial screening. Monetary donations accepted, but not expected. We generally serve 30-100 people each week, most from the local area, though shoppers have traveled from Carlisle, Perry County, York County, and the other side of Lebanon for our services.
