Approximately 120 people belong to the Presbyterian Church in Leonia. These members travel from many neighboring communities to worship together, sharing faith, commitment and a willingness to go into the world with understanding and mission.

         You do not have to be a Presbyterian to be a member of the Presbyterian Church in Leonia.  We welcome all seekers and Christians who are willing to confess Jesus as Lord and seek to follow in his ways, regardless of cultural or denominational background, age, gender, sexual orientation or economic circumstance.  Membership classes (and baptism classes for those who have not been baptized in a recognized Christian Church) are held once or twice a year, depending on need and interest.  Year long confirmation and commissioning classes are held for teenagers approximately every other year.   All members are entitled to pastoral care and have the responsibility to vote in elections. 
 
        You do not have to be a member to participate in the life and mission of our church.  Many members and friends are active on various committees and projects that strengthen our life as a congregation and our outreach in mission.

        We elect 12 women and men to govern the church through the Session, and another 9 women and men to serve a Board of Deacons, who provide pastoral support for persons who are homebound, sick, hospitalized or are in need of special care. 

        The congregation is a member of the Presbytery of the Palisades, which extends throughout Bergen, Hudson and part of Passaic  Counties.  We are part of the Synod of the Northeast and the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), which is a member communion of the World and National Councils of Churches.

        To learn more about our church, call us directly at (201) 944-1358, or leave a message and we will return your call.  The office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on weekdays (except July and August).
