About Our Church

Whether you are a long time church member, regular church goer, or just visiting, you will immediately feel at home when you walk through our doors at FCC River Edge on any given Sunday morning, At FCC-RE, we welcome everyone with open arms, a warm handshake, a cheery smile and a genuine feeling of care that makes you feel “its great to be in church this morning.”

Our worship services enlighten and uplift you with a wide variety of music and liturgy from many traditions. Sunday sermons are contemporary and thought provoking and connect our busy, modern lives with the ancient wisdom of the Bible. And from an early age, we teach youngsters to be kind and caring, while learning Bible stories that lead to more in depth Christian education.

Many of our church members are from the River Dell, Paramus, and New Milford areas -- We are the neighbors you see at the town library, the school yard or grocery store. With changing demographics, however, our church circle is expanding and attracting people from other areas.

As our church community grows, we remain busy and active helping others — whether it is participating in a Hike for Hope walkathon, making home cooked meals to feed some 200 people in a Hackensack homeless shelter, or entertaining developmentally challenged adults. Proceeds from our annual Pumpkin Patch support Native Americans in the Southwest and our Thrift Sales help provide funds to local non-profit groups.

If you are are looking for a faith community that will welcome you, provide you with opportunities to serve others, or invite you to join in experiences that will nurture your faith and personal growth, you are in the right place! Join us for Sunday worship and fellowship time afterward and see for yourself!
