TRENTON, N.J. - s4story -- Grace Cathedral Fellowship Ministries continues its legacy as a pillar of faith, service, and community impact with the grand unveiling of its newly redesigned multipurpose edifice on June 6 at 10:00 a.m.

Known for its vibrant worship, compassionate outreach, and welcoming atmosphere, Grace Cathedral has long stood as one of Trenton's most prominent churches. Its state-of-the-art sanctuary, constructed in 2006 adjacent to the original church building, seats between 800 and 1,000 and has become a beloved destination for powerful services and spiritual encouragement.

Now, under the humble and visionary leadership of Pastor Kyle L. Sanders, the church is entering an exciting new chapter.

Over the last six months, Pastor Sanders led an extensive redesign and renovation of the church's original building — a cherished structure that once housed the sanctuary, offices, fellowship hall, and kitchen. The building was named in honor of Mother Shirley V. Echols of Waycross, GA, the mother of the late and highly respected Bishop Jerome S. Wilcox.

"Bishop would be so proud," Pastor Sanders reflected. "He instilled in me the importance of serving the people and maintaining God's house with excellence. Because he stewarded the church's resources wisely over the years, we are now able to continue building for future generations."

The official ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening takes place June 6 and is open to the public. Guests will enjoy guided tours of the newly renovated facility, hors d'oeuvres, fellowship, and an opportunity to experience the breathtaking transformation firsthand.

Once officially opened, the versatile space will become available for community rentals and special events, including weddings, banquets, concerts, prayer breakfasts, corporate gatherings, conventions, church services, and celebrations of all kinds.
