DUE TO THE IMMINENT WEATHER EVENT THIS WEEKEND, SERVICES WILL BE ALTERED. STAY TUNED!

A BIT ABOUT US

In December 2006, Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel began as a “home group” of eight people, crowded into the living room of a small Point Pleasant Beach cape cod. Only 6 short weeks later, the “small” beyond capacity bible study, migrated to a local dance school on Arnold Avenue. Within just a few short months, it was time for the now 50+ people attending the weekly gathering to find a new home once again. Point Pleasant's Memorial Middle School and Antrim Elementary served as temporary spaces, but God had a bigger plan for His church.

In 2013, after a series of conversations with First Baptist Church on McLean Avenue, First Baptist graciously agreed that their historic church building, built in 1888, would then become the new home for Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel. First Baptist had a beautiful building with a declining congregation, and Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel had a growing congregation in need of a space to worship Jesus and call their own.

Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel believes the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. The teaching of the Bible is what God's people need to grow in their faith. Therefore, we teach through each chapter of the Bible verse-by-verse. Today, we hold many Bible studies at different times of the week to meet various needs of God's people.

A BIT ABOUT US

In December 2006, Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel began as a group of eight people crowded into Pastor John and his wife Christina’s living room in a small cape cod in Point Pleasant Beach. Within a month and a half, they outgrew the space and had to move to a small dance school on Arnold Avenue. Just a few months later, with 50 people attending service each week, the church had to find a new home again. Point Pleasant's Memorial Middle School served as a temporary space for a time, as did Antrim Elementary.

But God had bigger plans for the expanding church. In 2013, a series of conversations led Pastor John to the First Baptist Church on McLean Avenue. First Baptist had a beautiful building but a declining congregation. JSCC had an abundance of people but little space. By June, First Baptist had graciously agreed that this historic 125-year old church should be Jersey Shore Calvary Chapel's new home.

Get Involved

Men's Bible Study

Saturdays: 8:45am
  • Our men's ministry focuses on building relationships with other men in the congregation, exploring the word of God while also allowing men space to discuss the challenges of being a son, brother, father, husband and believer. In doing so, JSCC is building a brotherhood in Christ. Bringing together men who seek God's wisdom; men you can confide in, who will support you, and won't judge you. Together they share the Bible while making sure to leave time to share their own stories, laugh and practice their sarcasm.

Women's Ministry

  • Women's Ministry provides a space for women to gather together to study the Word of God and get to know the body of Christ. Women build relationships that provide an oasis from their busy lives and many responsibilities. Bible studies are held weekly and unique women's events are held throughout the year. For more information visit the church information table.

Children and Youth Ministry

Sundays: 10:45am
  • JSCC doesn't believe in simply "babysitting" children while their parents are in church. Instead, the church provides programs for children of all ages to help them grow in their walk of faith. Our hope is that by providing unique experiences for them, they will develop a hunger for prayer, for worship, and for gathering in the name of God. Children will also find that church is not a chore, but a FUN, SECURE and SAFE place they want to come to every week. We love to see children of all ages worshipping so we offer a safe and fun childcare environment for the younger kids.
  • SPLASH (Show Precious Love and Share Him)
    Nursery & Kindergarten Ages.
    We accommodate all  learning styles in a multi-sensory environment with a wide range of activities. This is accomplished by guiding the children through various stations that establish a weekly rhythm of “play, art, reading, worship, and prayer.” This supports both order and continuity AND the freedom to explore within each station provides a pattern for growth, while direct attention is on safety and security.
  • WAVE (The Word of God Affirms, Validates and Equips)
    Grades 1-5
    We are a dedicated team with a singular focus on teaching children the full counsel of God, exposing them to biblical truths that they might believe and grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our aim is to impart a love for learning about God and His Word in connection with a love for church, family and one another. We provide a safe and enthusiastic atmosphere that challenges children to embrace all that God offers through His Word as nourishment for themselves.
  • JUNIOR & SENIOR HIGH CHURCH
    Grades 6-12
    Teens and preteens dig into the Bible together and learn the Word on their level. The experience is designed to mirror the regular church service so that it acts as a bridge to joining the adult worship.

Hospitality Ministry

Sunday: After 10:45am Worship Service
  • The definition of Hospitality is, "To love strangers and be generous to guests." On Sunday mornings please join us for a time of "Hospitality" where we share food, friendship, and fellowship.
