Emmanuel Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a part of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC).
Originally founded in Morristown, NJ in 1927 we joined the OPC in 1956. It was the desire of our founders, as it is today, to uphold the Bible as God's inerrant Word, and we accept it as the only infallible rule of faith and life. We believe, in broad summary, in one sovereign, the triune God: that He directly created the world from nothing; that He directly created mankind as a unique being, in communion with God; that mankind broke that communion by sinning against God, and earned eternal punishment; that in His grace God responded to that sin by establishing a covenant to send His Son Jesus Christ, to save His people from their sins; that Jesus came, died in the place of sinners and earned eternal life for all who believe in Him; and that Jesus was resurrected to life, ascended into heaven, and will come again to judge the world and receive into the presence of God forever all who have believed in Him. We are “Presbyterians" a term taken from the New Testament word for Elders. The Session governs the local church and is made up of usually one or more Teaching Elders and one or more Ruling Elders. Currently our church has one Teaching Elder, the Pastor, and 3 Ruling Elders on the Session. The Elders not only govern our congregations, but also, jointly, in our regional (the Presbytery of New Jersey) and national assemblies. We thus seek to express the unity of God's people. For more information about our beliefs and doctrines click on this link OPC. We worship on Sunday mornings at 11 AM and Sunday evenings at 6 PM. Once a month, usually the 3rd Sunday, we have a Fellowship Luncheon following the morning worship. At the conclusion of our luncheon, our Pastor conducts a time of devotion-there is no evening service. Sunday School meets at 10 AM: Click on our Sunday School Tab for more information. We believe the Bible stresses family worship. Children are to be in the worship service to follow their parents example.Nursery service is provided for toddlers.
Mid-Week Prayer Meeting is usually held on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM in the Church or Manse - Call to confirm.
