With locations in Rockaway, Montclair, and Clifton, NJ, as well as one in the Poconos, PA, Christ Church is a multisite, multicultural, non-denominational church founded in 1986 by Drs. David & Marlinda Ireland and six other people. Now over 70 different nationalities and thousands of families call Christ Church home.
All of our sites enjoy a live, contemporary and diverse worship experience, led by our very own Christ Church Collective, and a transformational message by the Christ Church Teaching Team, led by founder and lead pastor, Dr. David Ireland.
We also have our Quest Student Ministries that serve the next generation (kids, teens, college and young adults). Since 1986, we've sought to Unite People to God and People to People—and we look forward to welcoming you and your family to Christ Church Clifton at the AMC Theatre!
We’re so excited about our new campus! God has put it on our heart to expand to the Poconos region, and we look forward to seeing what He will do through our love-fueled ministry in Poconos and the surrounding areas.
