Calvary Chapel Old Bridge

What Calvary Chapel Old Bridge does

Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (CCOB) is a non-denominational Christian church founded in 1985 in Old Bridge, New Jersey, and led by Senior Pastor Lloyd Pulley, who has served continuously for 40 years since founding. The organization provides weekly worship services (Saturday 6:00pm, Sunday 8:30am and 10:30am, Wednesday 7:00pm) featuring verse-by-verse Bible teaching, supported by an extensive on-demand sermon library covering Old Testament, New Testament, and topical studies. CCOB operates a comprehensive ministry ecosystem spanning all demographics—from nursery through seniors—including children's programs (Calvary Kids, AWANA, Pioneer Clubs, Vacation Bible School), youth ministries (IGNITE for junior high, IMPACT for high school, Calvary Young Adults), adult fellowships, marriage preparation, Biblical counseling, addiction recovery (Ground Zero), grief support, a food pantry (Broken Loaves), and a Spanish-language ministry (Vida Eterna). Accessibility provisions include hearing-impaired listening devices at all services and Spanish interpretation at the 10:30am Sunday service.

CCOB distributes its content across multiple platforms: a Squarespace-hosted website (ccob.org), mobile applications for iOS and Android, podcast feeds, online live streaming, and The Bridge Radio—a 24/7 Christian radio station at bridgeradio.org that broadcasts regionally and features the Bridging the Gap program with Pastor Pulley. Internal media production is supported by the CCOB Creative (photography/videography) and Wired! (audio/visual) ministries. Member engagement is managed through the CCB Church platform, which handles online giving, e-bulletin signup, and community communications. The church operates a physical main campus at 123 White Oak Lane, Old Bridge, NJ, plus a Teen Center at 139 White Oak Lane, and references an active Building Project signaling capital expansion.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary contributions, with no priced services. The primary streams are in-service tithes and offerings, digital online giving through the church website, and ancillary proceeds from Calvary Cafe (specialty coffee and tea sales supporting missionaries) and BridgeLife Thrift (thrift store). CCOB operates multiple affiliated outreach arms as integrated ministries rather than separate corporate entities, including Calvary Christian School (K-12 Christian education at ccsnj.net), Bridge Women's Center (pregnancy resource center), and the Bridging the World Missions program (short-term and long-term missionary sending). The organization is affiliated with but independently governed from the Calvary Chapel Association, a nationwide network of Calvary Chapel congregations.
