A Community That Lives God's Love

 "It was the fact that so many people came to greet us and talk at length every time we came. It was the fact that I was the only Asian in the room and yet you did not treat me differently or only address my husband while talking. It was seeing Leonard's faithful service every Sunday morning. It was Pat and Sally's coming to Newark without hesitation. It was Diane coming to my home. There is so much more....all these things came together and gives proof that God is real and He is Love."

A Community of Faith and Friendship

 "It is wonderful to be a part of a congregation that is close and who genuinely cares for one another. You do not feel like you are a number but a welcomed member of the congregation. Everyone is so happy to see each other. The reason why I will continue to be a member is very simple: NPUMC gives me the opportunity to be with a community that worships together. It is a caring and sincere community. When you enter the doors of the church and come into the sanctuary, you feel you are in a place where you can connect with your faith, pray, read the bible, & listen to the sermons of Pastor Franco. We are blessed to have him!"
