We are a small, warm, informal congregation with an ethnically diverse membership. Our service at 9:30 A.M. each Sunday includes a combination of traditional and praise music led by our choir and instrumentalists. Children are a primary focus, leading us in prayer at the beginning of the service and going off to Sunday School after Children’s time.
Our Chinese Members meet for a Mandarin Service at 9:30 AM on all Sundays of the month. Before and after each service there are English as a Second Language classes.
We have a unique Bible/Book Study each Friday evening at 7:15 PM in the Youth Lounge, during which time we discuss issues of the Christian faith and books about the Bible and Christianity.
Our church plays an active role in the Scotch Plains/Fanwood Ministerium, which is an ecumenical community based organization bringing together various churches as well as a variety of public entities.
Through the Outreach and Mission Ministry, members of our congregation are committed to being Christ’s hands and feet in the world. While there is always a Special Cause of the Month, ongoing outreach/mission projects include:
- Crop Walk for Hunger
- CUMAC, through various donation/collection projects
- Free Meals at Covenant United Methodist Church in Plainfield
- Home First Garden Project
- Ronald McDonald House, through collection of aluminum can pull caps
- Scotch Plains Food Bank
- UNICEF through “Souper Bowl Sunday” and various other activities
- World Vision, through sponsorship of children
Sharing our Facilities – Jump Start Nursery School brings added dimensions to our church building.
