Rooted in Asbury Park, growing in Christ.

We're a small but mighty family of believers — and we'd love for you to know who we are and what we hold dear.

Our family

Every face a part of the vine

Who we are

A close-knit church with a wide-open welcome.

True Vine Baptist Church is a Spirit-filled congregation in the heart of Asbury Park, New Jersey. We may be small in number, but we are big in love — a true family where every person is known, valued, and called by name.

For years we have gathered on Dewitt Avenue to worship the Lord, to be fed by His Word, and to carry His light into our neighborhood. Whether you've walked with God for decades or are just beginning to ask questions, you belong here.

— Serving Christ from here to eternity

What we believe

Our faith is simple, scriptural, and centered on Jesus Christ.

The Word of God

We hold the Bible as the inspired, trustworthy Word of God — our guide for faith, worship, and everyday life.

Salvation in Christ

We believe Jesus is the true vine and the only Savior. By His grace, through faith, every person can be made new.

The Church Family

We are branches of one vine — called to worship together, pray for one another, and serve our community in love.
