Freedom Church Jersey City — Local services in Jersey City

I came to this church because I visited years ago and then church hopped for a few years. The ONE thing I could not stop thinking about was Tapestry. Once I rededicated my life to Christ of course I went back to Tapestry. BEST DECISION ever. Being shy I would zip in and out of church I was very lonely, and I craved community but didn't know how to belong. After a few months I took a chance and went to their women's retreat! (FYI - come join us for the next one in October. They offer a discount if you join before August.) First let me tell you that Jesus went up that hill and met me where I needed to be and told me "I see you"...Secondly, I made 2 connections when I signed up to help carpool sisters that needed a ride. we have been in contact on a daily basis. Thirdly, I now have a community of sisters/brothers that I never feel alone when visiting. I joined a small group, and the Lord met me and freed me! (the small groups are starting again in June I believe, come join us! they have many different varies for both men, women and young adults) the band/singers are fire! most of the time the front of the church are people jumping in praise and worship! Nobody cares how you come dressed, so don't feel you need to spend money on a new wardrobe. Jesus only cares about your heart, not your clothing or shoes or jewelry! There are background checked dream teamers watching your children! (our Church takes the safety of your children very seriously!!) The chairs are very sturdy (this was a concern for me being on the plus size). There are dozens of opportunities for you to volunteer and become a dream team member. (there's a great feeling of coming together and serving others that's indescribable.) The church offers free hot/cold coffee and tea during service hours of 9, 11 and 1 pm every Sunday. We also offer live streaming! There are many opportunities for your children and young adults to participate. They have their own groups that are thriving! Bring your child and expose them to a Christ centered lifestyle. Now let's discuss the Pastors. First of all, the Pastors don't even insist on being called by their titles. They are just like you and me. All the pastors are approachable and some even glow! I love them all and have had interactions with them all on one level or another. Not standoffish or arrogant and they never look down their nose at you! They are kind and very relatable. I've had the opportunity to have the Pastor's wife pray for me...all I can tell you is every time she laid hands on me; I felt fire from heaven come down!! a true testament of their spiritual life. Sometimes ppl call themselves Pastors but have no real spiritual life. Not our Pastors! They have cast out demons and have Christ filled authority! That means that they have a strong, personal connect with Christ, hours spent in prayer and their Bible's!! They take their God given roles seriously. This is the main thing we can be thankful for when looking for a Bible based church. Give us a chance and you will not regret walking in thru our doors! We are waiting for you to come worship Christ with us!! Also, the Baptism services are wonderful. You get to hear from real life ppl that Jesus have touched them and turned their lives around. There's only one thing you must keep in mind...NO perfect...

On my very first day coming to this church, I felt drawn to the altar. I went up and asked for prayer. As they prayed over me, I felt something shift. I felt good — lighter — like something heavy had finally started to break.

But the real miracle happened when I stepped outside. Suddenly, I couldn’t stop spitting. It wasn’t normal — it felt like something was being expelled from me, like God was physically removing something dark that had no place in me anymore. This church has helped me have a relationship with God and has anointed me with a beautiful testimony. I love it here and God...

We were recent visitors and the service was supriseingly and unexpectedly amazing 🔥. The Spirit of God was present and the truth of God was spoken. My wife and I were blown away by Pastor Brooklyn's sermon. She was so young but she spoke with so much anointing and power. Most importantly, she spoke the heart of God. I'm writing this message the day after, and I'm still feeling fullness of Holy Spirit that we received yesterday. We are so blessed to have Tapestry Church as part of this community. We cannot wait to attend for next...
