Church of the Transfiguration

Church of the Transfiguration in Montville/Towaco and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Lincoln Park are engaged in an innovative model for parish development and community outreach. Our Episcopal churches, about three miles apart, once served our respective local communities almost exclusively. But today, we share what, in effect, is one larger community. So, rather than compete, or duplicate our efforts, we have joined together in a

‘shared ministry’ project endorsed by the Episcopal Diocese of Newark. Both parishes are maintaining their facilities, including their nursery schools, and are seeking ways to strengthen their current programs while exploring new ways to share their strengths and resources. Perhaps the most obvious expression of this sharing at the moment is our shared Priest—the Rev. Dr. David Cabush, and our Music Director—Fran Morton.

Except for special occasions, individual worship schedules are maintained at both parishes. But, if you are looking for us on some occasion and we don’t seem to be ‘at home,’ be sure that we are gathered at our partner church. We will do our best to keep the community informed, not only in regards to what we are doing but where we are doing it...because you are always welcome to join us, and our adventure together as we live into God’s future

in this community.
