First-Grace Lutheran Parish is located in Western Sullivan County, New York, an historic county noted for being the site of the original Woodstock concert back in 1969. Sullivan County is known as "the foothills of the Catskill Mountains", and its beautiful scenery, particularly in the seasons of summer and autumn draw many visitors and second home owners to the area. In addition, Sullivan County offers a variety of recreational activities such as rafting down the Deleware River, horseback riding, golfing at the former Groessinger's Resort in Liberty, or skiing at the Villa Roma or Holiday Mountain.

First Lutheran Church is located in Jeffersonville. In 2002, it celebrated 150 years of ministry to the community and the county. First Church began as a Reformed church, becoming Lutheran in 1917. First Church has much to offer to the community: a nursery school for children ages 4 or 5, a food pantry, and it lets area groups such as the Boy Scouts and Garden Club meet in the building.
