The Story Behind the Holmdel Community United Church of Christ
Holmdel Community United Church of Christ is part of the United Church of Christ, a Christian, progressive, mainline Protestant tradition. We are a regional church with most members living relatively close to the church and others traveling up to 40 minutes to attend. Our congregation dates back to the 1660s.
We take the Bible seriously but not literally. Having declared ourselves Open and Affirming in 2009, we stand with our LGBTQIA+ brothers and sisters.
Our Sunday worship is strong on music, has a Children’s message, and is followed by a coffee hour and snacks in Fellowship Hall.
We are a group of people with diverse outlooks - some quite traditional and some quite progressive in our understanding of Christ and the gospel. We range in age from 0 - 90+ and we include families, couples, and singles. Best of all, we enjoy our time together.
We believe in demonstrating our faith through action. We use Jesus as our role model in:
- Missions by doing work to help people in need now
- Justice and Peace by working to correct short and long-term injustices within our society
We are a busy, hard-working, and enthusiastic group of people who love our church and are passionate about making the world a more just place and serving others.
