Grace Place Campus Ministry at NIU

Grace Place is a student-led community at Northern Illinois University that practices authentic hospitality for all! 

God loves everyone and creates us with our own unique gifts. In celebration of God's radical love, we welcome everyone of any sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, and walk of life. Recognizing that we are all born into sin, we are committed to doing the work of being an anti-racist community, learning how we can better serve our neighbors.

Grace Place offers weekly worship services and community meals that focus on fellowship and providing a space to simply be.

If you are interested in learning more or would like to find out ways to partner, please contact Campus Pastor Mack Patrick.

We are an ecumenical ministry supported by the Northern Illinois Synod of the ELCA and The Episcopal Diocese of Chicago.
