Jefferson Campus Proposal

5550 Berkshire Valley Rd
Oak Ridge, NJ 07438

About

Jefferson is a scenic countryside township in the northwest corner of Morris County. It is home to roughly 20,000 people who are spread throughout its 42 square miles. Within Jefferson Township there are two main communities: Lake Hopatcong and Milton/Oak Ridge, which are divided by NJ Route 15.  A few years ago, our church was given property and a church building on the Oak Ridge side of town. The property is situated on Berkshire Valley Road, about halfway between NJ Route 15 and NJ Route 23.

Purpose: Vision & Mission

We believe that God has entrusted this property in Jefferson to us for a reason. The Jefferson community is in need of a vibrant, gospel-preaching, Bible-believing congregation, and the Jefferson site provides unique opportunities for such a local church ministry. After patient and prayerful consideration, we believe that the Lord is leading us to meet this need. We hope to launch a satellite campus of Sparta Church in Jefferson, with the ultimate goal of planting a healthy new church there. We believe that this is the next step for Sparta Church, as we continue to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission by preaching the gospel and making disciples both in our community and in the communities around us.
