Three Pathways of Peace

This Advent, The Community Church is pursuing three pathways of peace—practical, local, and spiritual expressions of Jesus’ promise:
“My peace I give to you… not as the world gives.” - John 14:27

Each pathway reflects our 2026 vision for cultivating peace around us, through us, and within our families.

1. The Community Church Park — Peace Around Us

Scripture: “He leads me beside quiet waters… He restores my soul.” - Psalm 23

God often speaks peace through creation. Phase Two of The Community Church Park will expand this peaceful outdoor environment for our church and town.

Goal: Fund the open play field and relocate the playground to complete Phase Two in time for Kids Camp.

Christmas Offering Allocation: $35,000

2. The Care Project — Peace Through Us

Scripture: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” - Matthew 5:7

In 2026, we are expanding our compassion footprint through a formal partnership with The Care Center of New Jersey, serving as the Area Coordinator for the Greater Kinnelon Region.

Goal: Resource local outreach projects—care bags, furniture builds, food pantry service, and emergency needs—so individuals, families, and small groups can serve throughout the year.

Christmas Offering Allocation: $15,000

3. Family Ministry Expansion — Peace Within Our Homes

Scripture: “We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.” - Psalm 78:4

Children and students face constant pressures—and our church is committed to creating spaces where the peace of Christ can grow in their lives.

Goal: Upgrade Middle School and High School environments, refresh décor and technology, and expand our Elementary spaces to support significant growth (46% in 2025!).

Christmas Offering Allocation: $10,000

Serving the Greater Kinnelon Area

Located just inside the North Gate of Smoke Rise, The Community Church is a non-denominational, contemporary Christian church committed to serving the greater Kinnelon Area! We are multi-generational with individuals, couples, families, and seniors from local communities such as Butler, Bloomingdale, Kinnelon, and more. The band is awesome, our sermons are relevant, and our kids' ministry is super fun! We are passionate about serving others and being an integral part of life in the greater Kinnelon area, and we have a great mix of those exploring their faith and others deeply committed to it. We hope you will join us one Sunday.
