Our Story
A Community of Faith Serving Since 1856
168 Years of Faith & Service
What began as a small gathering of believers has grown into a vibrant community committed to following Jesus and serving our neighbors.
Our Beginning
The Church of God in Christ Jesus at New Brunswick was founded by a small congregation in a single room church-house in the tiny town of New Brunswick. Their vision: to establish Christ's Church according to the New Testament pattern.
Living Our Mission
Although the town of New Brunswick is gone, our church continues to preach the gospel and provide community support. We remain an independent, non-denominational church focused on biblical truth, authentic community, and practical faith that transforms lives.
