WHO WE ARE

OUR VISION

We strive to be a Christ-centered diverse community caring for every generation in every situation.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to make a difference by creating Gospel-centered spaces of connection for worship and growth.

OUR CORE VALUES & BELIEFS

We value diversity both generationally and culturally. God has placed us in a strategic location where the world has come to us. Within 12 miles of our church live 2 million people from every corner of the world. Our goal is to reach this diverse cultural community and to continue reflecting this diversity in our church body.

Worship

In our worship, we recognize who God is, who we are before Him, and what is on His heart. Because lives are transformed through the application of God’s Word, we value biblical teaching in our times of worship.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that the Bible, composed of the 66 Books of the Old and New Testaments, is wholly and verbally inspired of God in its original manuscripts. As such it is our inerrant, supreme, and final authority in faith and conduct (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

We believe in the two gospel ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, testifying to that person’s conversion to Christ. It depicts the death and resurrection of Christ and the believer’s own death to sin and resurrection to newness of life. The Lord’s Supper, given to believers, is the symbolic remembrance of the Lord’s death until He comes (Matthew 3:13-17; 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32).

OUR HISTORY

In 1900, three men saw a need to reach the children and families of Middlesex County. William Crowell, Rev. Lenn Wheeler of First Baptist Church of New Brunswick, and Deacon Peter Letson of Stelton Baptist Church met together with the intent to organize a Baptist Sunday School in the Metuchen area. At the time, there weren’t enough families and children to start the school. But within two short years the population of Metuchen had grown enough that the Baptist Sunday School was born.
