Posted in Network News by
In the heart of Ringwood, New Jersey, East Coast Church has grown into a vibrant community marked by deep faith, authentic connection, and a vision to see lives transformed. What began as a local gathering of believers has become a place of hope and renewal for the surrounding area and beyond. With roots in biblical teaching and a passion for Spirit-filled worship, the church continues to impact people by creating a place where individuals can encounter God in a real and life-changing way. Their story is full of steady growth, fueled by prayer, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of God’s presence.At the core of East Coast Church is a mission statement that guides every decision and every ministry effort: to make disciples, to reach the lost, and to raise up leaders who will impact the world for Jesus Christ. This mission is not only proclaimed but lived out through local outreach, global partnerships, and intentional discipleship. Their heart is to be a church not confined by walls, but one that is actively engaging culture, meeting needs, and reflecting the love of Christ to people from every walk of life. For pastors and leaders around the globe, East Coast Church is a testament to the power of staying faithful to the mission while adapting to the needs of the community.

Guiding this thriving church are lead pastors Jere and Kim Peterson, whose leadership is marked by both vision and humility. With decades of ministry experience, they carry a unique blend of pastoral care and apostolic drive, equipping believers not only to deepen their walk with Christ but also to step boldly into their God-given calling. Pastor Jere is known for his passionate preaching and ability to communicate timeless biblical truths in ways that inspire action. Pastor Kim carries a prophetic and nurturing spirit, championing women, families, and leaders to live with courage and conviction. Together, their partnership in ministry has been a model of unity and strength, inspiring leaders both near and far.

Today, East Coast Church stands as more than a congregation—it is a movement. Under the Petersons’ leadership, the church has become a sending hub, raising up leaders, planting ministries, and fueling kingdom work that stretches far beyond Ringwood. Their story is not just about one church in New Jersey, but about what God can do through a people fully surrendered to His mission.
