Join the Church

Anyone who seeks connection with Jesus Christ can be a member at PCCT.

Membership

When you join the Presbyterian Church of Chatham Township, you will be welcomed into a strong, caring community of faith. Simply put:


  • Membership means getting more deeply engaged with the diverse ministries of the church and more deeply rooted in a life of faith.
  • In the Presbyterian denomination, members have a voice in choosing the leaders of the congregation and setting the direction of the church.
  • Members pledge their support to the future of the church through our annual Stewardship campaign and by giving of their time, talent and resources.

There are many benefits to membership and even more ways to get involved!

The Community Food Bank of New Jersey facilitates a regional distribution network of critical food supplies to emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and feeding programs in more than half the counties of New Jersey.

Volunteers ages 12 and up help on a monthly basis to assemble food boxes senior citizens, sort donated items, and repackage bulk food for distribution to local warehouses.  We never really know what’s in store until we arrive!

The mission of the Interfaith Food Pantry Network is to improve the health and well-being of Morris County residents in need by providing access to food, nutrition education and related resources; provide hands-on opportunities for neighbors to help neighbors, and educate the public about the issues of hunger in our area.

On an ongoing basis, PCCT members donate healthy canned goods and other non-perishable items by placing them in a bin in the upper lobby. The Harvest Festival also supports this food pantry.

Bridges ends homelessness through volunteer-driven outreach and individual case management focusing on health, housing, and independence. We form relationships with those experiencing homelessness while meeting their most urgent needs.

Our congregation sponsors three “runs” each year, assisting Bridges staff as they provide necessities and hope to people in New York City, Newark and Irvington. We contribute sack suppers, packed by volunteers of all ages. Runs are open to high school students, with a few spots reserved for adult chaperones.
