Rediscover the joy of church!Click here for the Mobile Version of our site.  We are excited to reopen for worship in our beautiful sanctuary. The first in person service was on Mother’s Day.
Our thanks to the consistory and staff in helping to take the necessary safety precautions in order to continue providing a worry-free worship space for everyone. As before, we will be guided by the most scientific data, the guidelines and mandates of the CDC, NJ Department of Health and the Word of God. Masks and social distancing are still the norms.
We will continue to provide online worship for all who are unable or uncomfortable returning because they are in a high risk category, live with or care for those who are in a high risk category or are just not ready to return for reasons of their own. Our weekly email blast will be sent out with the Zoom link and bulletin for that Sunday.
We will continue with worship services remotely via our Zoom link, our telephone dial-in, and YouTube channel.
Make sure to join us on Zoom for Coffee Fellowship at 12:00 noon.
To worship remotely, you can do so on the church's YouTube channel where we live stream each Sunday or via our Zoom link.

Deacon Michelle Hickey did a beautiful job leading us in worship and delivered her sermon on Laity Sunday:
Laity Sunday focuses on the celebration of the ministry of all Christians, especially those who aren't ministers of Word and sacrament. It offers a chance for members of all ages to pause and consider their own unique calling to ministry within the community of believers.
Second's After School Program
THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELED UNTIL STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL
We are creating a warm and welcoming place in which the youth (5th and 6th graders) of Hackensack can grow academically and socially. If you would like to volunteer, please contact the church office.
  Our ministers, Reverends Anna and Dwayne Jackson
 We remember and give thanks for those members of the church who have gone before us to be with the Lord. We are comforted, as the Scriptures remind us, that both in life and in death we belong to the Lord. (Rom. 14:8).
We pray that God will make complete the union of our departed ones and Himself, and that we might one day share in the same eternal communion. We call to remembrance those members of the church who departed since we last observed All Saints Sunday:
