A Church In Merchantville, NJ

Good question, because it looks like limited street parking when you drive past the Church on Maple Avenue.  But turn down Centre Street beside the church and you will find a big old parking lot behind the church, one we share with the school.  Pull in, find a spot, and you will see the Welcome sign on the side of the church to guide you in.

There is!  The whole family comes together to begin the worship service together.  But then, before the pastor gets going on his message, there is a Message for Youth and Children.  Led by Kristie Stuart, it is a Message our kids (although the adults will get something out of it too).  Then, the kids are dismissed to Sunday School through the end of worship!  

Our service lasts about an hour.  Music, the Voice of Heaven, is the connector of all the elements of the service.  We enter in with a greeting to the Lord, a call to come together.  There is then the opportunity to lay down the burdens of the week before the Lord, allowing the Lord to sweep them out of the way of worship.  We join together in peace, dismiss the kids (some argue that’s more peace), and come together to hear the Word of the Lord read and explored.  Finally, we respond in prayerful thanksgiving and intercession.  Everyone is then invited to the Hearth Room for a time of Fellowship and Good company after celebrating the Company of our Lord Jesus.

Our ministries are generally listed in our Worship Bulletin, either on the calendar or under the News of Heaven and Earth.  The easiest way to connect is to contact the church office by email or telephone and we will put you in touch with our Contact people.

Our groups are also listed in our Worship Bulletin with times and locations. Once again, for contact information, contact the church office and we will put you in touch with the Contact people for each group.

Take a moment at the end of worship to talk to Pastor Pete on your way out of worship. Let him know. He will ask you to follow up with an email so time can be set aside to talk more indepth about the possibilities. Our church has active ‘in house’ missions and active partnership missions to get involved with.
