Johnsonburg Camp and Retreat Center is a non-profit, Christian camp and retreat center that offers memorable New Jersey overnight Christian summer camp programs, and much more.

This year, we are planning to offer scholarships to a possible seven children:

•    Two children from Family Promise of Essex County (who are currently experiencing homelessness)
•    Three children identified through One World One Love and the International Rescue Committee
•    Two children from Greater Abyssinian Baptist Church in Newark

Without our help, these children wouldn’t have had an opportunity to spend a week away at camp, experiencing the beauty of God’s creation and meeting new friends, and learning new skills.

To donate: You can send a check to Wyoming Presbyterian Church, 432 Wyoming Ave. Millburn, NJ 07041 or visit the Wyoming Presbyterian Church Giving page at https://secure.myvanco.com/L-Z23F/home (please note donation for Johnsonburg).

2026 Per Capita Apportionment:

WHAT IS IT? Did you know that is the meaning of the word, “manna,” in the Hebrew Testament. Manna was the bread of heaven that sustained the people in the wilderness. Perhaps you have wondered the same thing about Per Capita–what is it! It is manna–the sustaining “bread” for the ministry of the PC(USA). Some describe the Per Capita contribution as similar to paying dues for a group you are a member of. Per Capita is much more than dues. It is joining and enabling the denominational ministries beyond us to do the work of Christ in the world. It is sharing the gifts of heaven.

WHY? We believe the Body of Christ is a priesthood of all believers, the whole worshipping community is connected as one body, and all are equally important to the mission of  Christ in the world. The Per Capita Apportionment system allows every Presbyterian to support the essential administrative functions of the church. These include ensuring the whole church is gathered and represented in the biennial General Assembly, the ordination and call process, pastoral immigration processes, ecumenical, judicial and constitutional concerns, The Presbyterian Historical Society, and the ministries of the Synods and Presbyteries.

For 2026, each confirmed member of the church is asked to offer $37.00 for their Per Capita contribution. WPC has, so far, received $4,239.96 from 42 people/families representing 114 actual member contributions. Thank you!

Here are some ways to contribute to the Per Capita Apportionment:

1- You may pay your/your family’s apportionment via:
https://wyomingpresbyterian.org/giving/  Then “click” on the GREEN VANCO block link. After, you’ll see the Apportionment section down on the page.

2 – Or go on the Giving Page and click on the GREEN VANCO block.

3 – You may also use one of the blue Per Capita Apportionment envelopes that was mailed to you. Please make your check payable to Wyoming Presbyterian Church and put the envelope in the offering plate on Sunday or mail it to the church office.

Thank you!
