Hello & Welcome
Believing in God’s Word and Spirit
Thanks for your interest in our church. We think you’ll find our congregation cheerful, compassionate and open-minded. We foster Kindness and acceptance of all. We offer a variety of experiences: Worship, mission, outreach, education, and fellowship. We strive to get to know all visitors and offer a safe space to worship and enjoy fellowship. We offer Communion on the first Sunday of the month. We believe it is the Lord’s table, not just a Presbyterian table. Anyone who believes in the Lord may partake. We hope to see you on Sunday.
We are one of the oldest churches in South Jersey. We just celebrated 300 years of worshiping in Woodbury. Here’s a brief history: The Presbyterian Church at Woodbury was founded in 1721 when a group of Presbyterians in the region established a meeting house on land donated by John Tatum. After facing challenges during the Revolutionary War and a period of inconsistent leadership, the church experienced gradual improvements, including the construction of a new building in 1834. Over the next century, the church’s membership and leadership grew, with pastors serving longer tenures, and a focus on missions and benevolence. In the mid-20th century, the church underwent several restorations and expansions, including the addition of a cupola and renovations in 1965. By 2006, the church had continued its mission, with a new pastor and expanded leadership to meet the needs of its growing congregation.
A Faith of Love and Hope
Christianity’s beauty lies in its message of love, forgiveness, and redemption. At its core is the belief in a God who sacrificed His Son for humanity’s salvation, offering grace and healing. Christianity teaches compassion, urging believers to love their neighbors and show kindness. The life and resurrection of Jesus brings hope, giving believers purpose and a connection to God. Through prayer, rituals, and community, Christianity fosters personal transformation and belonging. In a world of uncertainty, its beauty is found in its promise of love, peace, and eternal hope.
