Who We Are
A Place Where Everyone Belongs
New Jersey RODEM Church is a welcoming faith community in Fort Lee, serving northern New Jersey and the greater New York metro area. We warmly embrace Korean-American and immigrant families, longtime believers, first-time visitors, and every neighbor who walks through our doors. We are not simply a building you visit — we are one family you belong to.
Everything we do is rooted in the command of Christ: we follow Christ’s command to make disciples. Our calling is to raise up disciples among all peoples through the Word movement taught by the Lord — and worship, teaching, fellowship, and care for our community all flow from this one purpose.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.” — Matthew 28:19
The Heart of It All
The Good News at the Center
Everything here flows from one message — the gospel. The Bible tells the truth about us: we were made for God, yet all of us have turned away from Him, and nothing we achieve can put that right on our own. That is the honest news — but it is not the last word.
In love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live the life we could not and to die in our place on the cross, bearing our sin so that we could be forgiven. He rose again, defeating death and opening the way home. Salvation is not something we earn by being good enough — it is a gift of grace, received simply through faith in Him.
This is why you can come exactly as you are: not because something is required of you first, but because everything has already been done for you in Christ. We are, all of us, more flawed than we dared admit — and more loved than we ever dared hope.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.” — Ephesians 2:8
What We Do
Living Out the Word Together
From Sunday worship to discipleship, family ministry, and service in our neighborhood, our life together takes shape in concrete ways every week. Here is a glimpse of what you will find in our family.
Worship & Word
We gather to worship God and sit under the teaching of Scripture. The Word movement is at the heart of who we are — every service is an invitation to encounter Christ and respond to His call. Explore our ministries →
Discipleship & Education
Faith grows when it is nurtured. Through Bible study, mentoring, and teaching for all ages, we help one another mature as disciples who can in turn disciple others. Explore our ministries →
Youth & Family
We walk alongside children, students, and parents — building a generation grounded in faith, and supporting Korean-American and immigrant families as they grow together in Christ. Explore our ministries →
Community Outreach
Love that stays inside the walls is not love at all. We serve our neighbors in Fort Lee and beyond through care, volunteering, and local outreach that meets real needs. Explore our ministries →
Explore, Belong, Believe
Friendship That Feels Like Family
At Rodem Church, faith is never meant to be walked alone. We share meals, pray for one another, and carry each other’s burdens — celebrating in good seasons and standing close in hard ones. For many newcomers to the area, especially immigrant and Korean-American families, our community becomes a true home away from home.
Whether you join a small group, serve on a team, or simply pull up a chair on Sunday, you will find people glad you came and ready to know you by name.
A Milestone of Grace
20 Years as One Big Family
Since 2006, God has carried us through two decades of worship, discipleship, and love. In 2026 we celebrate our 20th anniversary — and we would be honored to have you join us.
