Gethsemane Lutheran Church

I grew up in Hackettstown, attending Gethsemane as a child and have fond memories of Bible study and community events. As an adult, I was blessed to be married there and have my two children baptized. I am proud to say that the Church still has a strong sense of community, both amongst the congregation and the Towns it serves, and welcomes all who wish to attend. It continues its Sunday School program, summer Vacation Bible School, and its commitment of outreach to the community. I have and always will feel at Peace when I am there.

We visited the VBS Gethsemane in 2014 which was great! My daughter loved it very much and she would sing the songs that she learned at home all the time. After the VBS ended the pastor invited us to church service the following Sunday, we loved it so much that we made it our home church.

This is a church that cares. They honor God. The love of Jesus is evident.

Bible-based church just four blocks off Main Street with plenty of parking! Pastor Tim's sermons teach the Bible and are relevant to how we live today. The music program includes weekly hymns and Cantatas at Easter and Christmas time with a wonderful, very talented and patient Music Director. The Women's Guild is part of a National organization--the Lutheran Women's Missionary League which has raised over $100 million in 75 years for local and world-wide mission work.

Gethsemane Lutheran Church has always been my church “home”. I started Sunday School at Gethsemane when I was three years old, and I was confirmed and married at its altar. Both of my daughters were baptized and confirmed at that same altar as well. I look forward to having our family’s next generation join us in worship there. Even though I moved to Blairstown over thirty years ago, I continue to drive an hour round-trip every Sunday to worship with my church family, the most wonderful congregation in the world! Gethsemane is a nice blend of long-time as well as new members, young-at-heart and young, and we welcome all who come to worship with us. Please visit us soon and make Gethsemane Lutheran Church your new church “home”!
