Serving Others -- Meeting Needs & Sharing the Good News

Athenia Reformed Church at its heart is a congregation with a heart for mission: sharing the Good News of God's caring love made known to us in Jesus Christ with others in our community and in the world.

Our mission in the Athenia community of Clifton:
 

• Athenia generously provides for those in need around us.  We gather food for those in need and offer inexpensive clothing and household goods to our neighbors at semi-annual rummage sales.

 
• Athenia reaches out to the community, by providing meeting space for a variety of community groups and service organizations, including Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, chapters of Alcoholics Anonymous, Nicotine Anonymous, American Association of Retired Persons and Daughters of the American Revolution.  
  
  In particular, Athenia has supported the mission of the North Jersey Christian Muslim Project, which seeks to foster understanding and conversation between Christian and Muslim communities in Northern New Jersey. 

 
• Athenia makes possible the work of Clifton Mental Health.   For two decades Athenia has served as the home of Clifton Mental Health, a public mental health organization that has served thousands of community residents.  The center's new facility on Bloomfield Avenue opens in late 2001.

 
• Athenia joins hands with mission and service organizations throughout New Jersey.  Congregation members have provided leadership and volunteer support to a host of civic and community organizations.  In addition the congregation makes regular contributions to groups such as the Salvation Army,  the Red Cross, the Adopt a Child Campaign, and Church World Service and Christian relief agencies.
