A congregation of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church — carrying the ancient light of St. Thomas the Apostle into every corner of New Jersey and beyond.
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden."
Matthew 5:14The Holy Qurbana — two millennia of unbroken Syriac worship.
Scripture-centred — reformed in 1836 while keeping episcopal grace.
Apostolic succession through the bishops of the See of Mar Thoma.
Sisters and brothers to every branch of Christ's Church.
The Mar Thoma Church of New Jersey was born in 1981, when a handful of Malayalee families gathered in Morris County longing for a spiritual home rooted in their heritage. Today, over 100 families call this sanctuary home — a place where the songs of Kerala rise beside the sounds of the American suburbs.
As part of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church, we trace our roots to AD 52, when St. Thomas the Apostle brought the Gospel to the shores of India. That light still burns here — reformed, alive, and welcoming you.
"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden."
Every gathering is an invitation — first-time visitors, seasoned members, and everyone in between find a seat here.
The Mar Thoma Church preserves apostolic succession through her bishops.

"May our communities continue to shine as lights in a world that needs the hope of Christ."

"Focuses on youth engagement, social justice, and strengthening the Church's global presence."
