Evangel Christian Church was formed in 1897 to provide a place of worship and community to the people of Little Ferry. It was at first a Congregational Community Church for numerous denominations. They grew in number and built the current church building in 1923. They wanted it to be both lovely and functional. Its sanctuary and main structure display 21 amazing stained glass windows which each speak of a biblical narrative of the common theme of Jesus as Savior. These exquisite windows are a comforting reminder to: Love God, Love People and Serve Others as our church motto speaks.
Over a hundred years of ministry have been accomplished here on Main Street and the future holds more worship, more service and more joy for those who become a part of the continued and rejuvenated vision for Little Ferry and beyond.

Our Form of Government
Our Local Structure and Form of Government
Christ the Head
In the Assemblies of God Christ is recognized as the head of the Church. He is supreme; and His life is the pattern for all ministry and conduct of the church (Ephesians 5:23; Colossians 1:18).
Elected Leadership
The pastor is elected by the local congregation. He leads through preaching and teaching
of the Word as well as by example. The pastor is responsible for much of the public ministry and day-to-day operation of the local church. A board of deacons is elected to assist the pastor in spiritual matters and to help conduct the business operation of the church (Ephesians 4:11, 12; 1 Timothy 3:8-13).
Reverend Paul Bruno
Reverend Paul Bruno was called into the ministry 28 years ago, leaving behind a Fortune 100 sales job and never looking back. Combining his theological studies, his empathy for people, and his experience on over 10 missions trips around the world; Pastor Paul has brought a unique vision to the Town of Little Ferry with a focus on oureach and care.
