What To Expect

The Presbytery for Southern New Jersey is a living organism that consists of each and every member of our congregations, friends who attend and support ministry, relationships on social media and those who are assisted by the mission and ministry of all of these people.  The effects of the ministry of even our smallest membership congregation to the largest are far reaching – from serving our communities, our counties, the bounds of the presbytery, to the synod, general assembly level and even to global mission.  Together we make a difference for Christ and his church, for the honor and glory of God as we are led by the Holy Spirit.

Who We Are

The Presbytery for Southern New Jersey seeks to glorify God in our life, ministry and mission.  We cover 7 counties including urban areas of Camden and Atlantic City.  We have farms, Pine Barrens, beautiful beaches (down the shore) and some of the busiest roads in the nation.  We cover 3,488 square miles from the Delaware River to the Atlantic Ocean. With 57 churches speaking many languages in worship on Sunday morning, the Presbytery for Southern New Jersey is a diverse, gifted group of people, churches and relationships.  We welcome innovation, new worshipping communities and permission giving in ministry approaches. Our 9,265 members of these churches are involved in their communities, in partnership with other churches in the presbytery and internationally doing mission work worldwide.   We are many things, but at our core we seek to further the kingdom of God, by serving our congregations in everything that we do.

Presbytery for Southern New Jersey seeks to resource our congregations and clergy.  Through staff and committees and connection to the larger church we look for ways to follow our Lord Jesus Christ. 

“The mission of the Presbytery for Southern New Jersey is to nurture the Christian faith, life and common witness of our congregations and pastors.  Open to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, we seek fresh ways to serve and grow; praying that in and through us God will make all things new.”  This is our mission statement but how we live into this reality is an ever changing conversation.

Come, join us – there is room at the table for you!
