Worship

Who we worship guides how we worship: Our services reflect God’s unique and creative nature.

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.

Advent: Fear Not

We live in a time of heightened fear.  We fear for our children, we fear for our future, we fear for our planet. Over and against the fear of the world the scripture proclaims “Fear Not”. Over 100 times we find in scripture the admonition to not be afraid.  Fear is in many ways the antithesis of faith and so we come this advent to be reminded that the perfect love of God casts out fear.

Dec 2:
Deuteronomy 31: 7-8
Fear Not! I Am With You
The world we live in is increasingly a fear based culture. Many people live in a constant state of fear, worry and anxiety leading to a myriad of problems of health, faith and life. In the face of fear, God commands us to fear not.

Dec 9:
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Fear Not! I Have Sent You
As the prophet Jeremiah discovered, answering the call of God inevitably involves risk. There is no way we can discover God’s will for our lives without a willingness to step out of our comfort zones, taking risks and trusting that God is with us through it all.

Dec 16:
I John 4: 13-21
Fear Not! The Antidote to Fear.
The opposite of faith is fear. Scripture says that “perfect love casts out fear.” How true. The experience of God’s perfect love provides the antidote to a fear based life.

Dec 23:
Luke 1:26-38
Fear Not! Mary Extraordinary
The angel Gabriel appears to Mary with extraordinary news and the command to fear not. The extraordinary has the potential to awaken fear, but also wonder and new life. We choose our response to the extraordinary events of our lives.

Dec 24-Christmas Eve
Fear Not! Christ is Born!
The shepherds are the first to hear the good news of great joy. On Christmas Eve we gather with the shepherds and angels to once again be reminded of the gift of Jesus who always turns our fears to hope and joy.

Dec 30th-One service at 9:30
