About Us
|
Preakness Valley United Reformed Church was founded in Wayne, NJ in 1933. Our church joined the federation of the United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA) in 1998.
PVURC has a long history of serving God and the people of Wayne and its surrounding communities. In addition to serving within the church and locally, PVURC also supports affiliated mission ministries in various countries around the globe to bring the Gospel to as many people as possible. |
We are....
A church that exists to unite God and people. Our mission and desire are to call individuals to a saving and growing relationship with Christ. This is encouraged by joyful worship, service which shares God's love with all in need, proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ, education in His ways and nurture of one another in Christian fellowship. |

VBS occurs every July for one week. Church members organize and run the program to help bring God’s Word to the children of our local communities.
The 2024 VBS program took place during July 8-12 and all the children had a great time on the Great Jungle Journey where they learned about the 7 C’s of history: Creation, Corruption and Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ and the Cross, and Consummation. Every child had an awesome time, as did all of the volunteers who helped to make this week a success! |

In addition to ministries within our church and local communities, PVURC supports several missions-based ministries led by other church and organizational partners. Read their latest newsletters or learn more about them below!

“Jesus replied, ‘They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.’”
– Matthew 14:16 (NIV) Each year, church members and friends organize a food drive prior to the holiday season to help provide food items to those in need. Last year, over TBD bags were collected and distributed to Paterson and nearby communities! The collection and distribution processes also provide opportunities for us to spread the gospel to our friends and neighbors. |
Get Involved!
God has abundantly provided us with beautiful grounds and well-equipped facilities that make PVURC a wonderful place to worship and fellowship. We respond in gratitude by working hard to ensure smooth operations of the church on a daily basis. No matter whether you’re a member or a regular visitor, there are many different ways to serve God and His people at PVURC. The following committees are in place to serve different needs of the church, and the majority of them are open to both members and non-member so all are welcome to join!
