The Presbytery of the Coastlands was formed in March 2021 from portions of three pre-existing New Jersey presbyteries — Elizabeth, Monmouth, and New Brunswick. The presbytery is located in central New Jersey and is responsible for governing the churches within its district.
Coastlands Presbytery has a rich heritage; many of the older congregations can tell you the story of a battle in the American Revolution that was fought in front of the church building, how many members and pastors served as soldiers, and whether the sanctuary was used as a field hospital!
