Please Note: the Game Farm Road entrance to the church parking lot from North Main Street
has been permanently closed. The exit driveway on the south side of the church is being
converted to an entranceway into the parking lot, or you may use the entrance road off of
Jones Road to enter the parking lot from behind the church. Thank you for your cooperation
as we continue to determine the best solution to serve your needs.

Road Closure
Update:
Friends,
After 2 and a half years of negotiations, the State of New Jersey has opted to clear its property where it abuts FRPC on the Game Farm Road side of the church.
The clearing included the paved entrance to our parking lot from Game Farm Road.
The asphalt was replaced with sand and fill rendering it undriveable.
​
Please plan to enter the church from the Jones Road driveway and exit from either the Jones Road driveway or the driveway next to Fetherman Hall.

paths in the wilderness.
