A Welcome Letter from the Pastor

"Shining Christ's Light, Welcoming Every Neighbor."

John 8:12 – "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."

Dear Friend, Welcome! We know that it's no accident that you've found your way here. Our church family is a blend of many testimonies—some filled with joy, some marked by struggle—but all of them held together by the love of Christ.

We like to say we are a beacon of light on the corner of 27th Street and 15th Avenue, shining brightly in the beautiful and vibrant city of Paterson, NJ. From this corner, we seek to extend God's light to everyone who passes by—whether you're searching for peace, carrying heavy burdens, or simply longing for community.

Here, at Christ Church you'll find a place that is both sacred and real. We worship with joy, we serve with compassion, and we love to Praise our Risen Savior! We are serious about following Jesus, but we're also a family—imperfect, welcoming, and always seeking to learn and grow deeper into God's Word.

If you're weary, come and rest. If you're hopeful, come and dream. If you're searching, come and discover. Whoever you are and wherever your journey has taken you, there is a place for you here.

So, come and stay a little while, join us in worship, and let's walk together in faith. Our church family can't wait to meet you.
