Loving God & Neighbors
We love God and we love our neighbors. We do this by sharing the good news that Jesus is Lord in both our words and in our actions, both locally and globally. We serve others to serve the God who made us, who loves and who has redeemed us.
Missionaries & Outreach Ministries
We support missionaries and outreach organizations throughout the world. We take seriously the Lord’s command to go into all the world making disciples. We support a number of missionaries serving locally in New Jersey, and globally in places such as Guam, Mali, and Kenya.
We also support outreach ministries such as:
- Zarephath Health Center (Zaraphath, NJ) providing free health-care to the poor and uninsured as an example of faith in action;
- Life Choices Resource Center serving mothers and families faced with difficult or unplanned pregnancies by providing practical, emotional, spiritual and material support;
- Literacy & Evangelism International, teaching literacy and sharing God’s word throughout the globe; and
- Medical Benevolence Fund, serving as an indispensable link to engage churches in the developing world to transform lives by building strong, sustainable health care ministries.

Serve With Us
Love Your Neighbor Service Projects Throughout the Year
You are invited to serve at the “Love Your Neighbor Service Project” with us multiple times per year. We meet directly following the First Saturday Bilingual Prayer and Praise Service at 9:30am at church and make sandwiches to hand out to neighbors in need. We then travel together to a local shelter and share the love and truth of Jesus with our neighbors.
Monthly Food Distribution Throughout the Year
Our church hosts a Free Food Distribution in partnership with Beginning World Changers. It is held in front of the Church on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 11am until the food lasts. We invite the congregation to help set up and to serve. Please contact Pastor Silvio to sign up.
