Get to Know Us
Lincroft Presbyterian Church (LPC) is a small, living church. It is welcoming to all – traditional, contemporary, non-churched and all – there is a place here for you. Our pastor is adept at opening hearts and dialogue. Joys and concerns are shared within a family atmosphere. Christ’s love and teaching and support are for all individuals and families. The Deacons are busy care-givers. The church is deeply active with social issues of the community and world.
LPC, an Earth Care Congregation, supports environmental programs, as well as Family Promise of Monmouth County and the Community Outreach Group/Calico Cat Thrift Shop, which provides food and social assistance services to needy area families. It has held vigils, jazz services, concerts, specialty workshops, chili cook-offs, and a variety of other fun and inspiring events. In addition to fellowship, we have a men’s discussion group, a Presbyterian Women’s group, a women’s book group, and a church choir. And there are events for such activities as kayaking, Blue Claws baseball, progressive dinners, and more.
When you are looking for “something” to fill a meaningful part of your life – or just a day – come and join us Sunday mornings at 10:00 am. Check out the warm, welcoming, inclusive experience we offer,
LPC is physically accessible and provides enhanced sound loop-technology.

What Happens at Sunday Service?
Sunday worship services start at 10:00 AM. When you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the service, a greeter will show you into our sanctuary. As an Earth Care Congregation, we print a limited number of bulletins and suggest you join our e-newsletter list to receive monthly updates on all our programs. The online bulletin includes the order of worship, the church calendar for the coming month, concerns of the congregation, and opportunities for you to participate in the programs and ministries of the church.
What happens after the service?
After service we often gather for fellowship and coffee hour (based on current health guidelines!). Join us to get to know more about our programs and activities.
How should I dress?
Come as you are and be comfortable. We have a warm sanctuary and fans in the summertime.
Where should I sit?
Seats are open to all. If you require assistance please ask our greeters for any needs. We also offer the loop hearing assistance either through hearing aids or with a headset. For the visually impaired we suggest front row seating for the best lighting and access to our large wall screen.
Where do I take the kids?
Children are always welcome in worship.
