I've been a member here since 1984. A large church footprint, with a small church feel. The…read morecongregation here leads with their hearts, and puts everything into it. Currently they are a host site for volunteer villages, disaster assistance hostels for volunteers from around the country, who are restoring the bayshore after superstorm Sandy. Recently the church has expended serious funding in modernizing the bathrooms, kitchen, and wifi to be a better host. In October the showers should be finished. For the previous 12 years they helped poor, elderly and disabled fix up their yards and homes through the Mission Matawan program. The Matawan community food pantry is one of the many joint ventures the church participates in with other area houses of worship. The youth groups go on annual mission trips when not enjoying fun and fellowship, both in small groups and through their new volleyball court. The community is served by the many outside groups that meet or operate out of the church, including AA, scouts, choirs, drama groups. They share their facility with the Church of the Jersey Shore, which uses the chapel and some of the rooms. Voted best house of worship in 2014. REALLY not sure how that was derived for the local paper (who worships everywhere and then endorses a place?)

I have been a friend of the First Presbyterian Church of Matawan (FPC Matawan) for over thirty…read moreyears. It is a welcoming congregation that enjoys multiple choirs, a diverse congregation and a beautiful building. The congregation is active in local mission to victims of Superstorm Sandy on the nearby Raritan Bay, but it also supports missionaries in Central America with the Heifer Project and a peacemaking program in Northern Ireland. My daughter went through the church's Sunday school program and my spouse is teaching now. I enjoy church workdays and mission speakers. The Arcadian Chorale and Spotlight Players meet and perform there. There is plenty of parking and a coffee hour with lots of goodies after services on Sundays. The church building was constructed in the late 1950's after a Christmas eve fire took the former structure on Main Street in 1955. The Mount Pleasant Church preceded the one on Main Street and its cemetery can be seen in nearby Freneau. The British burned down an earlier sanctuary during the Revolution after the pastor fought at the Battle of Monmouth. I love the local history and the artifacts of the earlier church buildings which can still be seen at the church. The current minister was active at the synod level before moving to Matawan and is quite the resource.

I've been attending this church for a few months now and I love it. I am born and raised catholic…read moreand never understood the word very well until I began coming to Faith Fellowship which is now Epic Church International. As another person that reviewed said, each time I attend service I leave feeling as though that message was for me that week and I needed to hear it. Pastor John and Pastor Ilenna are both great people, Most of you emphasize on the tithing, but also going to catholic church they emphasize the same as well. What I can say is yes it is spoke about before we start service and it is not forced nor is it over emphasized, It is the same as it would be in a catholic church and also what I can say is unlike the catholic church, I do not get a slew of envelopes mailed to my home or tickets that I'm told I should sell sent to my home as well. I feel 100% comfortable and welcomed each and every time I walk into the church, everyone is warm and friendly. I love the music and the happiness it brings me and everyone else attending, it brightens my Sunday mornings up and makes me happy to attend. I honestly can say I enjoy being there and learning more and more.

Maybe need a stronger mic to lead the congregation. The mass was very traditional. I attended for my little cousin's first communion which was a beautiful service. The lesson to the kids was very on point and a funny story was told about the priest's first communion which was heart warming. If you like old school traditional mass this is a good place to try. Be prepared as it is a large church with a tiny parking lot.
