History
On Resurrection Sunday, 2005, in the City of Trenton, New Jersey, a small circle of believers gathered in a sanctuary and were joined by others. Like a mother heavy with child, the melody of the voices began to swell and grow until the presence of the Spirit lifted their song above the rafters. The vision that God gave a young seminary student several years earlier came to fruition. That was the first worship service of Beloved Community.
Anchored in the principle of Love, this progressive Beloved Community subscribes to the world church. All believers are welcomed; and those that are curious or lonely or weary or fearful or uncertain are invited to come and be loved.
Leadership
Beloved Community church is guided by a Circle of Leaders . This body is comprised of Elders and Servants, functioning in the capacities of Deacons and Trustees, respectively. The Circle offers Communion, adjudicates benevolence requests, provides counsel and conducts church fiscal business honorably and transparently.
