Artivism is a student-run organization of over 40+ high schoolers from New Jersey and Connecticut. Together, they create opportunities for young people to become actors rather than bystanders in solving the problems in their communities.

They have been working to address educational inequality in the Trenton area since June 2020.

Witherspoon Partnership – new group for 2021

Bending the Moral Arc:

Contemporary Conversations on Race & Justice with Friends from Witherspoon Street & Nassau

Join for courageous conversations co-led by Denyse Leslie & Karen Brown, respective elders of the Witherspoon Street & Nassau Churches. To ground the conversations, there will be homework before each gathering to read, listen to, or watch. Most of the homework will take less than an hour, and no more than 2 hours. The group will meet via zoom every other week, starting January 20 at 7PM, for 12 weeks (6 gatherings).

This group is open to 5 participants from Witherspoon & 5 from Nassau.

Advent Evening Prayer Services

Join in mid-week fellowship, share prayer concerns, join in song.

This season Nassau will gather each Tuesday and Thursday at 8:00pm for a brief service of evening prayer hosted and led by members of our church staff.

These services will be held on Zoom. A link will be sent out to the “News from Nassau (All-Church News)” email list. This is the list that receives our mid-week Nassau Generations email newsletter. If you would like to be added to this list, please visit the Newsletter page of this website.
