Family Baby Blessings
Recognizing that our children belong to God and following the example
of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:23-28, parents can make a public commitment to
raise and train their children according to God’s Word. This commitment
is during the Family Baby Blessing ceremony that is held during Family and Friends Sunday, which is on the third Sunday of every month.

Communion
Communion is a holy time of worship when the Christian church family comes together as one to celebrate Christ and what he has done for us through sacrifice. Communion, often referred to as the Last Supper or the Lord’s Supper and sometimes, the Eucharist is one of two Holy Ordinances commissioned by Christ, and practiced in our faith. It is a manifestation of His love and the supreme sacrifice given to liberate us from sin.

Funerals
Metropolitan Baptist Church is a family and we mourn the loss of any
of our members. We consider the term funeral outmoded because we
celebrate the life of the individual who has died with a service of
"Victory and Triumph".

office informing them of the name if the deceased, the funeral home
handling the arrangements and the family contact person. The bureavement

Weddings
We take the joining of a man and a woman in holy matrimony very
seriously. This is the joining of two families to become one on the
eyesight of God. The new couple thus begins their journey as a new
family.
Upon making the decision to marry, PLEASE contact the church office (973) 642-2267 and ask to speak to a representative from the wedding ministry. It is imperative that a date and time be agreed to BEFORE you secure a reservation for a reception. This will eliminate any
potential conflict and insure the coordination of a spirit filled
wedding service.
The wedding ministry can also help a couple to arrange wedding
specialty items such as :unity candles, programs, communion and etc.
Pre-Martial Counseling
Pastor Jefferson believes that all couples entering into marriage
conducted under the auspices of Metropolitan Baptist Church receive
pre-marital counseling. The wedding/marriage ministry will provide the
necessary forms and work with the couples in arranging a pre-marital
counseling session with the pastor.
