Welcome!

"Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!"  (Psalms 95:6)

In the 1970’s, a group of believers put an Ad in the local paper saying, “I found it,” along with a phone number that folks could call.  Many people called to ask what it was they found, to see if it was an item they lost, only to hear a message that they found Jesus, and He changed their life forever!

If you are reading this note, you have stumbled upon a small, friendly church, where God’s people worship and fellowship together.  It is a loving place, where you can grow and feel cared for, a place where you will be fed spiritually and use the gifts God has given you.  But what sets us apart from so many other churches may be summarized in the words Jesus spoke in Matthew 22:37-40, which say: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.  On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”   The instructions are clear...  Vertically we are called to love and worship the Lord our God, and then horizontally, to love one another.  This is our mission and singular purpose, here at Immanuel OPC!

Shalom

Pastor Joseph P. Trombetta

Scripture Lessons

Remember the Sabbath Day and Keep it Holy.  Each Sunday, we celebrate the LORD with a morning and evening service.  in the morning, Pastor Trombetta is leading us through a study of the Book of Matthew.  In the evening, Pastor Trombetta is leading through a study of the Book of Psalm.  There is also a time of corporate prayer during the Evening Service.  We have shifted back to physically gathering together for Morning Service, while maintaining a virtual live stream.  Congregants are encouraged to wear masks during the service and maintain social distancing.  Evening Service continues to meet virtually.  If you would like to view video recorded messages, you can go to our video library or visit our Facebook page:

About Us

​​Our History

On October 2nd, 1938, the doors of Immanuel Presbyterian Church were opened.  On May 13th, 1942, the church received affiliation with the Presbytery of New Jersey as a particular congregation of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, becoming known as Immanuel Orthodox Presbyterian Church.  Over 70 years later, Immanuel OPC maintains the Biblical truths found in the Reformation and summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith.

About Our Name...

  • "Immanuel" is a name used for Jesus Christ that means "God is with us." 
  • “Orthodox” means “straight teaching” or teaching that conforms to that found in the Bible.
  • “Presbyterian” means that we are governed by elders and not by higher bishops or by the congregation itself.
  • “Church” is the body of believers in Jesus Christ who have been called out of the rest of society to be a special group that is holy to the Lord.

Ministries and Organizations

Immanuel OPC strives to serve the Lord by having active ministries for care and outreach to our members as well as to shut-ins and those that need faithful assistance and service.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalms 119:105)

Upcoming Events

Day of Prayer and Fasting

On Wednesday, September 30th, Immanuel OPC will have another day of prayer and fasting.  From sunrise to sunset, we  are asking the congregation, friends, and family to refrain from eating meals.  Those who are unable to abstain the whole time are  asked to refrain for at least one meal, using that time to pray and focus on the goodness of the LORD in the midst of all that is happening in the world.
