We are a Bible-based church where everyone is welcome, and no one is left out. We are a family-like community that values hospitality and is committed to reaching the world with God’s Word. Each year, we partner with Shekina Charities to bring hope, food, clothing, and the message of Christ to nations around the world. Our mission is to demonstrate that God has a purpose for every life through preaching, mentoring, and discipleship. As declared in Isaiah 54:2–3, we continue to enlarge the place of our tent, stretch wide without holding back, and strengthen our foundation as we grow.
Our story began over 25 years ago, when God placed a vision in the hearts of a few faithful men and women. Through prayer and divine confirmation, that vision became New Jersey Tabernacle. On March 3, 2001, a small group gathered, shared their testimonies, and stepped forward in faith. The very first service was held in a basement with just a handful of people, and ever since, God has faithfully added to our number as we continue to walk in obedience to His Word.

To be a Church that changes lives with the love of Christ by welcoming all people just as they are and encouraging them to become who God has called them to be; being hospitable and setting ourselves apart to serve.
