A Merchantville congregation, High Place Church, has purchased the former Danzeizen & Quigley store, a landmark building that’s been vacant since last year. The church plans to make significant renovations to both the façade and interior of the 33,000-square-foot building on Route 70, according to WCRE, a commercial real estate firm. High Place, a non-denominational church, currently occupies a traditional stone church at North Centre Street and Walnut Avenue in town. At the start of 2019, High Place undertook an "Uncommon Campaign" - an effort to raise $300,000 in pledged funds - to realize their journey to move to this uncommon place in Cherry Hill, NJ. We wish them well.

For Christians, Easter is the holiest of holidays. One tradition - receiving communion - won’t be possible this year for many followers because of the coronavirus crisis. But yesterday 3 CBS Philly visited a South Jersey church that found a way for followers to continue the meaningful custom. With Easter just days away, High Place Church in Merchantville got creative in how they celebrate and worship this year due to COVID-19. “We determined you know what, let’s hand out communion and then live-stream our service on Friday,” High Place Church Senior Pastor Edgar Alvarez said, “and then in the evening, we’re all going to partake virtually together.”
