This nondenominational church merged with Grace & Peace Fellowship Church, who had been in Cranford for 30 years, in March of 2010. IHOPEG's mission is "24/7 worship and prayer," according to Pastor Gary DePasquale, a Cranford pastor for over 15 years. IHOPEG's style is young and lively, and their Sunday Expression service features a rock band. They draw the congregation from all over Union County, and hold meetings at various times during the week.

I have been involved with IHOP EG for sometime now and I finally feel at home. It is the real thing! A community of believers focused on the return of Christ and relationship with our savior. We are all broken but actively pursuing our God. I cannot see an ounce of control here. It is refreshing to be free and even encouraged to be who I am in Christ. Great place to grow close to God and others and to grow period!
