CURRENT SERIES

Sermon Series: Loving the Least…The Call of Matthew 25

Sundays, 2/26/23 – 4/2/23

For Lent we will explore one of Jesus’ greatest and most challenging parables. Found in Matthew 25, Jesus teaches that loving the “least of these” — the hungry, sick, lonely and others on the margins of society — is the essence of our relationship with Him. In this series of messages we will explore the biblical and practical dimensions of this parable as we grow in loving the least.

Join us Sunday mornings:

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

11:00 am EST, in-person only

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.
