Profiting from the Word

By / Saturdays at 9:30am, through August 16, 2025

Beginning June 14, join Tenth women for a 10-week summer study using A.W. Pink’s helpful classic, Profiting From the Word! 

Last summer, Tenth women gathered to consider principles for Bible study using Jen Wilkin’s Women of the Word. This summer, as we continue to seek to grow as students of God’s Word, we will examine ourselves and consider how we can be mindful of and on guard against the spiritually dangerous condition Peter warns of where we can be growing in knowledge yet be spiritually ineffective and unfruitful (1 Peter 1:5-9).

Women of all ages and life stages are warmly invited and encouraged to attend.

Internationals Outreach Retreat

By /

Join us for a fun and refreshing weekend retreat at Ocean City, New Jersey on April 25 at 4pm – April 27 at 1pm. 

This year's theme, "Jesus, the Resurrection," invites us to explore one of the most important and life-changing truths of the Christian faith. Together we will dive into questions like: What does the resurrection mean? Why is it so important to understand? How can we personally experience the resurrection hope that Jesus offers? Through engaging discussions, inspiring talks, and meaningful conversations, we will discover how the resurrection impacts our lives today and gives us lasting hope for the future. 

But that is not all – this retreat is not just about reflection; it is about having fun and building connections! Whether you are seeking spiritual renewal, looking for new friendships, or just need a relaxing weekend by the ocean, this retreat has something for everyone. The retreat is opened to everyone.

The cost is $100 per person (shared room) and $200 per family (one room). This fee includes two nights of hotel accomodations, meals and 3 days of retreat activities. Spots are limited, so register soon to reserve your place!



Men’s Fellowship Lunch

By / Tomorrow at 12:30pm – 2pm

Please join us for the Men's Fellowship Luncheon. We will hear from a speaker, enjoy good fellowship and have a delicious lunch. 



New Jersey Men

By / Saturdays at 8am

A time of fellowship, discussion and application of the Scriptures along with prayer.



Parents’ Prayer Ministry

By /

If you are the parent of a teen or adult child who is walking in rebellion against the Lord, you might feel alone—perhaps even hopeless. Finding other believers to pray with you about your child’s situation can be intimidating.

Tenth is starting a group for parents of “prodigal” children. The purpose of the group isn’t to find advice or answers. The purpose is to create a safe space for parents to be known in their sorrow and fear and to pray together for the Lord to have mercy on their children, and to turn them back to himself in repentance.

If you’re interested in being part of this prayer group, confidentially email Executive Minister Tim Geiger here.



Men’s Discipleship Group

By /

Struggling with sexual temptation or sin can prove discouraging, even devastating, to a man’s walk with the Lord and his relationships with others in his home and in the Body of Christ. Tenth is starting a group starting in January to help men who struggle sexually, helping them to come into the light of truth and repentance while at the same time helping them rely on the Lord and not on their own strength to do so.

This is called a discipleship group rather than a support group because the focus is on helping men understand God’s grace applied to them through the Person and work of Jesus Christ. It is, after all, God’s grace that is meant to lead to our repentance (Romans 2:4).

If you are a member or attender of Tenth, age 18 or older who would like help and encouragement in walking in repentance, please prayerfully consider becoming part of this group. You may confidentially email Executive Minister Tim Geiger here.



Saturday Women’s Workshop

By /

All women of Tenth are invited to join us for the upcoming Saturday Women's Workshop. Our speaker will be Tenth deaconess Lisa Gerard. She will be guiding us through a little book by Tim Keller called Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness.

We will discuss topics such as: Are we aware of how much we think about ourselves? What are hidden ways that we are consumed with self?  In our fellowship time, guided by Tim Kellers' book, we will discuss why self-focus is a form of bondage and the beautiful freedom God can provide as we address this with His truth.

The cost is $5.00 which includes a brunch and a copy of the book.

Childcare: Please email Kelci (krose@tenth.org) if you need to register for the free childcare.



Jesus Explored

By /

Our annual Global Outreach banquet will feature our main speaker, John, who along with his family, served for over thirty years in a minority Christian country, striving to see the church of Jesus Christ flourish. In these years they have seen God faithfully bring people to Christ and establish congregations of believers. John continues to work with local pastors and congregations, seeking to disciple and develop current and future leaders of the church in that country.

Several global partners of Tenth will also have information tables on their different ministries and how we as individuals can partner with God's church in reaching the nations for Christ.

Leadership Formation Day

By /

2024 Leadership Formation will prepare teachers, volunteers, and leaders for the upcoming 2024-2025 year of ministry at Tenth! The theme this year is "Restore" based on Psalm 23.  

Leadership Formation Day is a training time set aside for ordained and lay leaders in the church to come and learn together in order that we would all pull together well in the same direction. This year's training focuses on discipleship—how do we work together to help Tenth become a church that is increasingly formed by discipleship? This time together will be profitable not only for your ministry, but also for your own soul. Leadership Formation Day is open to everyone—not just for established leaders. If you have someone who would like to be a leader, or someone who would benefit from thinking more deliberately about discipleship, please invite them to register!

A Continental Breakfast and Lunch are included. 

Childcare is available; please sign your kids up here.
