WELCOME
    This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it
 

Brother and Sister Telesford and granddaughter Leanna welcome you. 

On June 8, 2008, the Church of Christ Chancellor Ave. had its first worship to God. It was a glorious day. God was exulted, we praised, and honored and adored Jesus.   The Holy Spirit were with us in our worship. There was wonderful fellowship. Brothers and Sisters who have a “Heart for the Harvest” came together to fulfill the Great Commission

Our congregation is strategically located in the Southward of Newark, New Jersey and borders with Irvington and Hillside New Jersey. This location gives us the opportunity to reach the lost in a tri-city area. We have conducted several Church awareness campaigns in our community. The community has responded to the Gospel in a wonderful way.  

To update you on the many blessings God has bestowed on us, we report that we had five baptisms since our first worship service on June 8, 2008. Eight families have place membership. We are conducting one Bible study, at the church building, with a community resident and we have one Bible correspondence course in progress. There is now a new convert class. We have made several improvements in the church building which include new lighting over the pulpit, and expansion of the rest room. The improvements to the Church were done “at cost” by Christian friends. We purchased a used van (a very used van) to help us expand our reach into the surrounding community. With some soap and water, a little paint and some bailing wire the van should meet our needs for the time being. 

We conducted one community outreach through a clothing giveaway. This resulted in much community recognition and good will. Several people visited our congregation as a result of the clothing giveaway, four of them were baptized. We are planning a winter clothing giveaway in two weeks along with a blood pressure check.  

We have a vision and hope to move to a better building within a year. We are a small congregation, but we do not plan on being small for long. We are looking forward to a place with classrooms and an office. Please pray that we will be able to achieve this goal. A larger facility will help to be more effective in our outreach to the community and ministering to our members. We are an evangelistic congregation, seeking to grow by fulfilling the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). Our methodology is Love. Love God, love our neighbors and love one another. This is how the community will know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ. “Lord let our light shine brightly that it will illuminate the pathway to Jesus”. We speak the truth in love. 

  Brothers and Sisters your prayers, encouragement and financial support have brought us a mighty long way; first with the Church planting in Jersey City New Jersey and now the Chancellor Ave. congregation. We look forward to the day when we will be able to help a struggling congregation as you have helped us.

According to his power that is at work within us, together we will be able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine for the lost for the saved and for His glory. God bless and keep you until that day. Yes, together we can.

You are welcome to visit us. We love visitors. Come and be our special guest. Church of Christ Chancellor ave. is a loving congregation. We laugh a lot, we enjoy each other's company and we enjoy being in the presence of the Lord. We are looking forward to your visit. God Bless you.
