Missions

Love one another as I have loved you

John 13:34

As a community church, we seek to help meet the needs of our neighbors by partnering with local nonprofits to help those who are hungry, facing homelessness, or in need of a friend. We are supporters of Open Door food pantry, The Emergency Housing and Advocacy Program (EHAP), The Maker's Place in Trenton, NJ, and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). We also partner with local healthcare facilities and area nursing homes to encourage residents, patients and healthcare workers. We truly seek to be the hands of feet of Jesus Christ to our community!
