Welcome to our website

             The First Presbyterian Church of Rahway is always glad to have visitors whether it is to our Church or website.  One and all are welcome to take a look around and learn about us and our beliefs.  This site is updated regularly with information that you should find useful…

             Our after school program, Achieve to Excel, has all the information you should need  including a link to our partner, Future Generation. We have a calendar detailing worship times and events that are currently happening at the First Presbyterian.  Baptism, wedding and funeral information can be found under ‘Our Services’.  Our newsletter, Tower Times, is updated monthly and contains topics relevant to the congregation.  It is a good way to become familiar with what goes on within our community.  In addition, the ‘Humanitarian Topics’ section touches upon issues which effects us all.  As we learn about these topics, we’ll post them in this area—perhaps we can learn together about the problems that all of humanity faces. 

             So please take a look around but be sure to stop back.  And if you’re ever in Rahway, stop by the Church for a chat.  Join us for worship on Sunday (10:30am regular time - 9:30am in summer) followed by refreshments.  You’re welcome to come by and meet the pastor and other members of our congregation – we’d love to see you!!
