About Us

Welcome to the Porch - Where You're Family!

We're the Little White Church with the cute picket fence you probably drive by all the time here in Franklin Township! Stop in when you see an activity happening and check us out! Visitors are always welcome! Our physical address is 220 Porchtown Road in Franklinville (mailing address Newfield, NJ 08344) We hope you and your family will have a warm and spirit-filled experience with us as we worship and fellowship together at our services, events, and ministries.



Our Services

Saturday
06:00pm
Our Saturday Night Services offer spirited informal worship with a lot of music, fellowship and sharing from 6 to 7 p.m. Come experience the church in the evening with the awesome sight of the cross softly bathed in colors through the stain glass windows. It is very powerful, serene, and comforting.
Sunday
10:30pm
Our Sunday Worship Service offers a nice blend of traditional hymns along with upbeat praise songs and everything in between. In addition to printed bulletins, we project the entire service (including lyrics to songs, prayers, and other responses) on a large screen to help everyone follow along.
09:15am
Our Sunday School offers a family-oriented, interactive Bible study. Bring your Bibles - you will be learning where to find scriptures and how to apply them to your life in a relaxed and friendly setting where everyone shares and contributes.

What to Expect

What are services like?
Our aim is to make our services comfortable & user-friendly for those who haven't been in church before. We don't want anyone to feel out of place. Our worship services are easy to follow because they feature a multi-media format including easy-to-view presentations & lyrics on a large screen with a blend of traditional hymns & contemporary praise songs. We focus on messages that challenge everyone to live and grow in Christian love. Hymnals, Bibles & Bulletins are also available for those who wish to follow the service in a more traditional format. Children are invited to sit with their parents at each gathering if you wish. Nursery is provided for families with young children who would like to worship with us at the Sunday 10:30 a.m. service. Please bring your children upstairs before service starts. Ask our greeters for details if you have any questions. We offer Saturday night worship in addition to Sunday mornings!

What is the community like?
We love because God first loved us! We offer a Safe Sanctuary where everyone can Worship in Peace regardless of their social preferences, race, color or creed. The People of Porchtown Church treats everyone like family by providing a safe and friendly place of worship and growth so that we might all live as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Everyone is invited to come out and see if our church family is what they are seeking. We gladly answer any questions a visitor has and Pastor Pete would be honored to answer any doctrine questions that you might have.
