Real Bible Teaching, Real Community, Real Life

Pastor Ryan brings Scripture alive every Sunday at Green Pond Road in Newfoundland, NJ.

About Us

On a stretch of Green Pond Road in the Newfoundland, NJ highlands, this chapel has built a reputation that speaks for itself: a 4.8-star rating from neighbors who call it "the best church around." That kind of loyalty doesn't come from slick programming. It comes from Pastor Ryan, who opens the Bible Sunday after Sunday with the rare combination of theological depth, genuine humility, and enough wit to keep you leaning in.

The people here will greet you like they mean it. Families with kids find a children's program that takes the gospel seriously. Athletes and parents discover the Upward Basketball Program, one of the standout community offerings in the area. And anyone who walks through the door carrying something heavy quickly finds that this is, as one longtime member put it, "a house full of people helping and in need of help", exactly the way Jesus described the church.

This is a congregation that has chosen depth over flash. The Bible is preached clearly, the doors stay open, and the community that has formed here keeps growing because what they have is the real thing.

What We Offer

Sunday worship at Green Pond Bible Chapel centers on expository preaching, where Pastor Ryan walks through Scripture passage by passage, connecting ancient text to everyday life in ways that actually make sense. No theological background required. Bring your questions.

Beyond Sunday mornings, the chapel runs a dedicated children's ministry that pairs Gospel-grounded teaching with age-appropriate engagement. The Upward Basketball Program extends the church's reach into the broader community, giving kids a place to compete, grow, and hear something true about their worth. Small groups and fellowship gatherings fill out the week for those who want to go deeper than a single hour on Sunday.

All of it is rooted in one conviction: that the local church exists to help people know God and carry each other through life.

"I think this church has amazing people. Very welcoming and kind. Wonderful program for children and no doubt followers of the gospel. In addition, the Upward Basketball Program is outstanding! I rarely do this, but I chose to write because a previous review said the music was loud and I very much disagree!! The music is very traditional and to be honest not appropriate for the many young people who attend. Truly, I was amazed at the young attendance which a testimony to their wonderful ministries. I just wish older believers who are strong in their faith would think of the young people before making comments such as the music was too loud . Honestly, I think it needs to be way more alive. There was one lady asleep in the pew next to me. Just saying, Jesus is worth celebrating!! If you like traditional, the church should consider a Mixed service that could get your children and teenagers engaged and excited about coming to worship while still having a few hymns! PS Im a middle-aged Mom who just prays this generation of NJ will long to come and worship each Sunday;)"

"I feel privileged to call this place my home My Sanctuary my family. A House full of people helping and in need of help. Just the way Jesus intended the church to be. The Bible is preached clearly word for word and there is no apology for what God's word says, there's only the emphasis of loving and discipling the world, your neighbors, your brother your sister."
