For sometime I could not find the time of service for this particular church, and whenever I would…read morecall I wouldn't get an answer, I also would check their Facebook and then I wouldn't see anything current. So I gave things a rest and a break; and on May 20th, I Revisited their Facebook page and there was an actual digital flyer for women's day May 21st !! It had two guest female pastors, both from New Hope Baptist Church, one in East Orange and one in Newark, along with praise dance and all sorts of beautiful Christian things. So My very first time as a visitor at First Baptist Church of Nutley was women's day May 21st, 2017. Of course as a newcomer into a new church, you never know the kind of reaction you are going to receive and I say this because I have had not so good experiences in other Baptist Churches. But once I entered into the church, I was greeted by the some members, deacons and the deaconesses and especially welcomed by the Pastor. And ever since then, I continually came early, courtesy of the man of the year, Deacon Bobby. So early that I had breakfast, attend Sunday school for adults and also the 11 a.m. service. In my own personal experience, despite my career despite my level of Education, I have had trials and tribulations for many years of my life and even currently. And with every song that was sung, with every word that was preached, with every chapter read in the Bible, with every Sunday school reading- I personally felt the message was directed towards me; because each word or message applied to my life whether past, present or future. And with each and every service or gathering or Sunday School, my spirit was lifted and I was filled with joy. I was rejuvenated in Christ and I was encouraged, which then increased my faith and had me craving more. And because of that experience and because everyone has been so loving and so welcoming to me and everybody was just excited about me being there and everybody wanted me to join. Everyone kept asking, when is Tiffany going to join? My confirmation to join, my confirmation that this is my church home, was through every message I received from the Sunday school, the Bible scriptures and the word being delivered by a deacon or pastor or a singer who is singing a message that needs to be heard; and especially the love that I received from all the members that I have been in contact with; everyone welcomed me with open arms and it felt like this is home. This is where God wants me to serve. I feel so blessed and grateful that I finally found the church time (11am. Next sunday 10am), but even more grateful that I found a church home that excites me everytime I come and it's always something I look forward to attending on Sunday. I feel so uplifted and encourage and full of the Holy Spirit and it feels like it's helping me build a closer relationship with God and I am craving more wisdom and knowledge of my walk in Christianity. I am blessed for everyone welcoming me into this church family and I encourage you to visit this church and experience what I have, because the spirit is in the church and you will be blessed by the word. And did I mention my pastor can sing his butt off ? direct the choir ? My pastor can do it all through Christ! He is amazing and he tells it straight. He keeps it real and is not ashamed or embarrassed about his testimony. He shares all the time. And that shows great leadership and humility. Amen.

I'm so deeply blessed by this authentic church family, who has walked with me through every peak and valley without an ounce of judgment. Their commitment to "come as you are" and serve others has grounded both me and my children in a real, living relationship with God. The greatest testament to love isn't perfection--it's knowing God loves us perfectly in all our flaws. The beautiful souls here model that every single day. Come as you are. Just come.

I visited Christ Church over the holiday season and was immediately hooked! The people were so…read moreinviting and welcoming! I felt comfortable the moment I walked in. The congregation is beautifully diverse, and so is the ministerial staff. The music is uplifting, the message is powerful, and I always leave feeling inspired and loved. The Christmas show was absolutely fantastic, which led me to attend a regular Sunday morning service. It lasted just under 90 minutes, and I left feeling empowered, like I could conquer the world. I've been back several times since, and each visit somehow tops the last! Like others have mentioned, the only downside is parking. It's in downtown Montclair, which can get busy. I usually park at a nearby school a couple of blocks away and walk over which is not ideal for everyone, but it works for me. There's some limited street parking, but the best strategy is to attend the first morning service at 9 a.m. and arrive around 8:15-8:30. That way, you can usually snag a spot nearby. Overall, I have little to no complaints. Christ Church offers so much -- life groups, a children's ministry, a teen ministry, a marriage ministry -- so many opportunities to connect and grow. I truly feel at home here and look forward to returning again and again

They need to stop shining the three lights directly above the TV monitor on the stage of this…read morechurch DIRECTLY INTO THE AUDIENCES EYES. These lights are very bright and blinding and the church shines them directly into everyone in the pews eyes literally blinding them so that noone can even look towards the stage without going through eye torture and scarring. That is why noone in the pews (especially the center pews) can even look towards the stage without being literally blinded with blind spots immediately forming. That is why everyone has to look down that is sitting in the front or they look at the TV to the side rather than being blinded. It is absolutely absurd. Even the TV monitor in the q room is flashing and blinding. Noone should have to go blind to go to church. There is absolutely no reason for these three bright stage lights specifically to be shining directly towards everyone in the audiences eyes . The only reason I can even think of is so that they can see peoples faces for their video that noone consented to be in!!!! I will not be returning to this selfish church because I will not go blind its definetely not worth it. They could be doing a lot more for all the people that attend this church besides maken them go blind like some cops with three giant flashlights in your face for no reason. Thanks a lot for the eye scars NOT
