Becoming A Healthy ChurchCelebrating the Past, Shaping the FutureFourty years ago in July 1968, ground was broken for our current church building. As we entered 2009, it was a year of celebration which climaxed with a festive banquet in November. We want to become a house of prayer for all people – to bring people to faith in God so that together we will live our belief in God.Stamp Out Hunger With CUMACCUMAC in Paterson is the largest food distribution program in Passaic County, serving over 2000 persons monthly, running a thrift shop, a job training program and maintaining a warehouse for other food pantries in northern New Jersey. Our church participates in their anti-hunger program throughout the year.
