Music at the Heart of Our Association
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. - Psalm 95:1
Welcome
This page is a growing resource dedicated to the many ways music is alive and at work across the New Jersey Association. Here you’ll find stories, updates, and highlights from our local congregations — exploring how music is being used to deepen worship, strengthen community, and reach beyond our walls. Whether it’s a choir, a folk ensemble, a jazz ensemble opening the doors to new listeners, or new arrangements and lyrics to familiar hymns, this group seeks to lift up the vibrant movement in New Jersey. Check back regularly as we continue to add new stories, features, and resources from congregations throughout the NJA.

Still Speaking, Still Singing
Music has always been one of the ways the Spirit moves among us — and the UCC has never stopped singing. Still Speaking, Still Singing is a podcast that sits down with musicians, ministers, and makers of song across our association, conference, and the wider United Church of Christ to hear their stories, explore their craft, and celebrate the vital ministry they offer week after week.
Each episode features an in-depth conversation exploring how they came to their setting, how they help shape the spiritual life of their congregation, and what it means to serve God through song and sound. First Episode Coming Soon!
