UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Our Doors Are Open To...Everyone!

We are a caring, supportive congregation that values the relationships we form with one another
through worship, service and fellowship.


We welcome you to Union Congregational Church. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here. Union Cong is an open and inclusive church located in Montclair, New Jersey. We welcome and celebrate all persons, without exception, to participate in worship and fellowship. We are a vibrant community of faith that seeks to follow Jesus' example of welcome and hospitality. We are a congregation of people from all walks of life and faith traditions. Union is a place where we can connect to God in worship, service, education, and by having fun. Here you'll find us seeking wisdom, searching for movements of the Spirit, and serving others. We invite you to join us at worship or a fun event, ask questions,
and mostly importantly, be yourself.

MUSIC PROGRAMS AND CHOIRS

Co-Director of Music John David Whitener says "if it's   not joyful, it's not worth doing." Please join our       adult choir, handbell choir, children's choir, or share     your other musical talents with members of the       church during worship.
