Who We Are
We Are You…
We are members who are very active in the community of Rahway.
We are teachers, social workers, lay preachers, secretaries, singers, storytellers, writers, and people who work in the business world.
We are cooks, bakers, volunteers, and organizers.
We maintain our own church and grounds in order to free up money for outreach and mission.
We are focusing on our children who every Sunday enthusiastically gather at the front of the sanctuary to experience the Word.
We are a congregation which takes an active role in the life of the Presbytery.
We are a warm and welcoming congregation open to and accepting of all racial groups, nationalities, and lifestyles.
We are now a stronger congregation since the merger between First and Second Presbyterian Churches in January 2012…
one with great hope and renewed energy and eager to go forward
to do all that God calls us to do.
Mission Statement:
We are a Light in the community reflecting the Love of God.
With enduring commitment and guidance through God’s Word,
The First Presbyterian Church seeks to continue its long, faithful
history of mission work throughout the community.
Comforted and challenged by the Gospel of Christ,
we strive to be a welcoming church,
offering hope to all seeking His Love and Grace.
We are excited at what the future holds for First Pres! We are ready for the Holy Spirit to guide us in exciting ways. We are ready to be surprised. We are ready to be challenged to grow our faith. Most of all, we are ready to walk around in the blessings that God has waiting for us. For God’s imagination is greater than ours.
If you are looking for a way to be involved in what we hope to accomplish, please join us for worship and connect with our various teams of people who help make ministry happen. There is a place for you to use your unique gifts with us. Our hope is that you will share them with us!
