About Us
We praise God that we are called to serve Christ in love. We invite others to join us in this calling.
The First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury dates back to 1734. Our Sanctuary, which is on the roster of Presbyterian historic buildings, was built in 1834. The old cemetery behind our church gives history buffs an interesting glimpse of times gone by. History gives the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury a firm foundation but has never been a replacement for current vitality. We are an active member of the Presbyterian Church (U. S. A.), involved in Monmouth Presbytery, the Synod of the Northeast, and the General Assembly.

Our Mission
We, the Church, are called to be Christ's representatives in the world. Through our words and actions, we must challenge individuals to commit their lives to Jesus Christ. We believe God creates and sustains us, saves and liberates us in Jesus Christ, and transforms and empowers us through the Holy Spirit. Responding to God's calling and nurtured by the faithful witness of the Old and New Testaments, we joyfully claim membership in the Body of Christ.
In order to remain an active spiritual force in our rapidly changing community and world, we recognize the need to grow and nurture current and future members. We will expand our commitment to Jesus Christ through worship, education, ministries, programs, and fellowship. Our Church must encourage and enable each member to find his or her particular gift for ministry.
We praise God that we are called to serve Christ in love. We invite others to join us in this calling.
