CURRENT SERIES

Sermon Series: The Story of Christmas

Sundays, Beginning 12/3

Every good story has certain elements. A striking setting. Compelling characters. A powerful plot. This Advent and Christmas, join us as we hear once again one the most captivating stories ever told. A story set in a small town named Bethlehem, in a cold stable where the animals slept. A story of shepherds, kings, angels, an angry ruler, a young couple, and the God of the universe entering our world as a newborn baby. A story – the story – which altered the course of history.”

Adult Education Series: The Birth Narratives

Sundays, Beginning 12/3

Great differences exist between Jesus’ birth narratives found in the Gospel of Matthew (1:18 – 2:23) and the Gospel of Luke (1:5 – 2:40). Some scholars suggest that these differences exist because the two authors wrote their accounts as literary overtures, sounding themes to be developed later in their narration of Jesus’s ministry—themes like Jesus as the New Moses (Matthew) and Jesus as Champion of the Poor (Luke). Over Advent, join Pastor Lindsay and local Presbyterian pastor, Rev. Dr. Byron Shafer, as they explore these claims and ideas.

Join us Sunday mornings:

8:30 am EST, in-person or live online and 11:00 am EST in-person

Worship is the centerpiece of our spiritual lives.  Jesus taught us that to love God is the first and most important commandment; we do that when we worship.  Worship at APC is informal – don’t feel you have to get dressed up; just come.  Worship at APC is diverse – prepare to be surprised each week. Worship at APC is relevant – prepare to be taught and inspired each week.

Intergenerational

We believe our children and youth are not only the future of the church: They are vital to the church of today.

APC is a church that loves kids. We have one of the largest and most outstanding ministries to young disciples in New Jersey. Jesus taught that we are all God’s children and that you don’t have to be old enough to know and follow Him.  There are many opportunities to become involved whether it be through our Little Tree Preschool, children’s ministries, youth and young adult ministry, or family ministry.

Spiritual Growth

We believe faith is a journey, not a destination: Fellow travelers welcome.
