How We Serve God and Neighbor
Partners in Care & Community -- Join us!
CCK is a welcoming and affirming space for all of God's children regardless of sexual orientation, gender itdentity and expression, race, color, ethnicity, age, nationality, socioeconomic status, immigration or citizenship status, or mental/physical/emotional ability. We joyfully particiapte in the Annual NJ Pride Parade in Asbury Park, and host a safe space for gathering and friendship to LGBTQIA+ teens called The Circle.
We believe that Love = Love. We believe that marriage is a joyful covenant between two loving, committed people.
Made in the Divine image, we believe in the universal belovedness of all Creation where all are richly blessed and deeply loved.

The Community Church of Keyport partners and supports the Keyport Ministerium Food Pantry, a non-profit volunteer community service organization, founded in 1983, to provide food for those in need in the Northern Bayshore Area of Monmouth County.
Located on the CCK church campus, the Food Pantry is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 11:30AM. Picture ID and Proof of Residence are required to receive our services. Contact Natalie Smith, Director of Operations at 732-888-1986.
We believe that children are full participants in the life of faith and are invited to remain in church with parents/caregivers during worhsip. If they wish, they may enjoy our "prayground" to read, do puzzles, quiet play, and coloring as they listen (they're always listening!).
On the first Tuesdsay of each month, children and parents are invited to "Family, Feast, & Faith." Enjoy a prepared dinner with us from 6-7 PM. From 7 PM - 8 PM, children will be led in Bible lessons, stories, and crafts by our certified Christian education teachers.
Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation classes are held throughout the year.
Our Music serves to communicate the message of Jesus Christ and His salvation through lyrics and melody of both traditional hymns, contemporary, and secular music genres. We seek a holistic engagement that involves the whole person, engaging emotions and minds with the spiritual meaning of the words. Blessed by our Music Leader, Leigh Huber, and our Music Team of Jim Cortiglia, Meral Pontier, and Debbie Hege, we extend an invitation to everyone who wishes to join us in praising God in song!
We celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist on the 1st Sunday of each month. The Lord's Table is open to all as a joyous act of thanksgiving for all God has done, is doing, and will do for the redeeming of creation -- a hopeful sign of the promised Realm of God marked by justice, love and peace.
We use grape juice and various breads, with a gluten-free option available.
We celebrate the sacrament of Baptism for infants, children, and adults. We believe Baptism is an outward and visible sign of God's grace through the gift of the Holy Spirit. In baptism, we are joined with the universal church, the body of Christ, and the entire community of faith. In baptism, God works in us the blessing of forgiveness, the renewal of the spirit, and the sacred call to be God’s people.
In partnership with community leaders and elected officials, our mission is to create a welcoming safe haven for LGBTQIA+ teens and young adults of Keyport and the greater Bayshore area. Our campus becomes a multi-functioning social hub, a venue for artistic expression, a forum for speakers, wrap-sessions, open mic nights, dances, and peer-to-peer sharing, as well as a source of information, support, and resources. A refuge of care and safety in an increasingly uncertain world.
Living out our commitment to love and care for God's people, CCK supports and church members of all ages particiaptes in:
- Annual CROP Hunger WALK
- Thanksgiving Food Baskets & Distribution
- NJ Pride, Asbury Park, NJ
- Angel Sharing Tree
- 180 Turning Lives Around

Togther with our "sister churches" -- Middletown Reformed Church and Holmdel Community United Church of Christ, we believe we're stronger together when we can creatively collaborate on special projects and events, and mutually support one another in the work of loving God's people. We're grateful for the faithful, fruitful partnership.
