Glen Ridge Congregational Church

About this church

Glen Ridge Congregational Church, a United Church of Christ congregation in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, gathers for worship on Sundays at 10 a.m. at 195 Ridgewood Avenue, at the corner of Ridgewood Avenue and Clark Street. Services are held in person and are also livestreamed and recorded, with recordings available on the church's Facebook page and YouTube channel. A fellowship time follows worship at 11:15 a.m. The church describes itself as Open and Affirming and says membership is not required to take part in its activities.

Children start the service with their families, then go to Church School classes after the children's message while worship continues. Childcare for children under 3 begins at 9:45 a.m. in Room 6 of the Education Wing. Faith formation runs from childcare through seventh grade, with eighth-grade confirmation shared with a nearby congregation. Middle and high school youth groups are run jointly with neighboring churches, and a week-long Vacation Bible School typically happens near the end of June. Music includes children's choirs, handbell groups, adult choirs and a community concert series. Family Faith is an intergenerational group that meets about once a month, and Pilgrim Preschool operates on site. Confirm times on the website or by calling (973) 743-5596.
