First Congregational Church of Park Ridge, NJ: You're Welcome Here!

We believe our children are the future of our church

and we plan to continue to develop the quality Christian Education program we have started. We are overjoyed at the size and commitment of our church school. Our teenagers continue to be a source of pride as they continue to be present in all of our church activities. We plan to continue to involve them in the life of the church including church boards, fund raising and guiding them towards leadership roles.

We encourage our teens to participate in boards and fund raising activities.
We have two teens on the board of deacons who take their commitment very seriously. A surprising number of our lay leaders grew up in the church. We even have the granddaughter of our founder James Leach still worshiping with us at 95 years of age. One family has four generations worshiping together including a Great Grandmother of 102. We are blessed with a sense of extended family while at the same time making sure newcomers don’t feel left out.

We are blessed with our thriving church school. We are proud of our kids and their endeavors. We are thankful for our teachers. See what they have done!
