Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Newark

What are services like?
Our services are characterized by the best of traditional hymns and contemporary songs. The best are the songs that are Biblically sound, rich, Christ-centered, and where the music lends itself to congregational singing. We have every kind of instrumentation represented (drum kit, violin, cello, organ, piano, bass guitar, etc.). The sermons are expositional (i.e. we preach from a text, explaining the text and drawing applications from the text), and we routinely go through books of the Bible one passage at a time. Sermons seek to draw our hearts in loving obedience to the words of Scripture and the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is the community like?
Friendly, diverse, and eager to welcome folks. Quests frequently remark about how welcome they feel when they first visit.

What if I'm not a Christian?
If you're not a Christian, then our Christianity Explored course (9:30am on Sunday mornings), is the place to begin. It's a casual atmosphere where the first rule is 'don't be nervous, you'll never be asked to sing, pray, or read out loud.' Guests are encouraged to bring questions and much of the time is spent wrestling with those questions and objections.
