We were delighted to have so many children at the Bergen Community's Galaxy VBS at Bergen Evangelical Presbyterian and Bergen United Methodist Churches! We had a great time learning about how God loves us and how we can love others. We hope that each child enjoyed VBS as much as all our volunteers did! Our VBS kids did an amazing job with our Projects with a Purpose mission projects. They assembled 20 birthday cake kits, 40 birthday care bags, and raised $75 to support this m

Christian Sports Camp 2026 at Hickory Park in Bergen was an awesome time of fun, friends, fellowship, and faith! Over 50 campers and 30 adult and teen volunteers attended the camp at some point during the week. Impromptu Camp songs, fancy line dances, Jesus rocks, and the full gospel message displayed in sidewalk chalk, were all highlights of this year’s camp. Thank you to all volunteers and helpers who again made camp possible. Over eighty total campers and volunteers on

Please come and draw closer to God during this time of worship. In case of rain, the location might be changed to the Bergen Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 38 S. Lake Ave, Bergen. Notice will be provided at the park.

Although we had a couple of sprinkles between 5 and 6, the 2026 Bergen Sports Camp started right on time at 6 pm on Sunday, August 16. The kids participated in soccer, kickball, baseball, and basketball. Four different groups, roughly divided by age, were guided in drills and games in the various sports. All of the participants enjoyed a snack between two periods of activity. The evening ended with Joe leading a very interactive discussion on who was the greatest athlete in t

For our nation's 250th anniversary, we rang our church bell 250 times. We started right at noon on Saturday, July 4, and the bell rang for about 11 minutes. David Wright coordinated all the bell ringers, and David Snell counted each ring.

We are delighted to again offer a concert with students from the Eastman School of Music Organ Deptartment. The yearly concert series at Bergen EPC was inspired by the renovation of our 1907 Charles Viner & Son pipe organ in 2023-4. Each year, we strive to have at least one organ concert as part of the series. The concert this year will feature Ali Santos and Matt Luca on Sunday, May 3, at 6 pm. At the age of thirteen, Matt Luca began his journey with the organ, otherwise kno

Easter morning was overcast in Bergen, but the joy of the resurrection filled our hearts as we worshipped together on the hill. Joy, Christin, and Alden led in singing and David read scripture. Pastor Hoyt reminded us of the hope of the resurrection both in our spiritual lives and in our everyday challenges. We were grateful that the rain ended just before we started to set up and that the wind was neither as strong nor as cold as it sometimes is on the hill. Hot coffee and f

At the conference, the teens learned to share their faith and the gospel openly and easily with others. It was an amazing time of worship, biblical reflection, gospel training, and fellowship!

The 2025 Harvest Festival opened its doors at 6 pm, and the fellowship hall was full of noise and fun for the evening. Although it was a little damp, the rain had basically stopped, and we had lots of people who stopped by for food and fun. Young people and adults were greeted at the street and given candy and trinkets, and over one hundred New Testaments were given out. Once they entered the fellowship hall, there were a variety of games, some done by people in our church an
