A WORD FROM OUR PASTOR


As the Pastor of the First Congregational Church of River Edge, I encourage you to consider participation in this vital and exciting congregation. We are a community seeking to come to grips with the issues and challenges of our day in the light of our faith. But, most of all, First Congregational Church, is a community of persons striving to live out the acceptance, the compassion, the love, and the justice of the Christian faith in today’s world.


If you are looking for a faith community which will welcome you, provide you opportunities to serve others, as well as a community which will invite you to join in experiences that will nurture your faith and personal growth, we at First Congregational Church urge you to consider participation in this congregation. We welcome your inquiries, your visits, and your regular fellowship with us in this important work.


Peace,

Rev. Charles F. Holm

Welcome to

First Congregational Church

of River Edge 

 


We are a congregation of United Church of Christ made up of members from many different backgrounds. Our worship services include a wide variety of music and liturgy from many traditions. We have a strong Christian Education program for children and adults, a vibrant music program which includes several vocal and handbell choirs, and sermons which connect our busy, modern lives with the ancient wisdom of the Bible.

Our church members are active in ministry to the community and our building serves as home for numerous groups such as Girl Scout troops, 12-step programs, Japanese language/culture school, a community nursery and kindergarten enrichment program, a Bag-Pipe band and a children's theatre program.  We also share our space with the River Dell Korean Baptist Church.
