Worship in Madison

Madison and the immediate area offer many places of worship that also offer community-based youth and outreach programs. Several of the oldest churches are an easy walk from downtown and include St. Vincent Martyr Church, The Presbyterian Church of Madison, First Baptist Church of Madison, Grace Episcopal Church, Bethel AME Church, and United Methodist Church. An equal number are located in residential areas or near the Borough boundaries including Madison Baptist Church, Our Savior Lutheran Church, the Jewish community synagogue in Florham Park and Long Hill Chapel. The Chavurat-Lamdeinu meets at the Madison Masonic Lodge on Main Street and the Chabad of SE Morris County congregates in its own facility on Park Avenue. Still-other combined congregations are located in Chatham, Morristown, and Chatham Township.

Many of the community’s local religious organizations participate in The Interfaith Council of Madison–Florham Park, a cooperative organization that brings together leaders and lay representatives from the area’s religious organizations and affiliated service organizations. The Interfaith Council is represented by the churches and synagogues in Madison and Florham Park, along with Grace Counseling Center, Drew University and the Madison-area YMCA.

The council provides participating organizations with the ability to share information and resources to deal with challenges as they arise in the community or in response to regional and national tragedies. The council sponsors the traditional CROP walk for hunger relief and the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration and additional community outreach programs.
