About Us
Welcome to Port Jervis Bible Baptist Church!
Port Jervis Bible Baptist Church is a group of ordinary people seeking an extraordinary God. As a church we aim to love those in our community with the same love that Christ has given to us, all while directing others toward the Savior in the hopes that they will encounter the one true God and be transformed by His gracious love for them. Whether you’re a Christian looking for a church home, or you’re full of questions about this man named Jesus, or you’re somewhere in between, there’s a place for you at PJBBC.
