Our parish is one of a number of Episcopal churches in the eastern
portion of Monmouth County. It serves a community loosely defined by the Navesink and Shrewsbury
Rivers which contains several towns, each with a unique history and personality. The entire Two
Rivers Community, as it is called, is located at the northern reach of the New Jersey Shore.
New York City, 75 minutes by rail and 40 minutes by ferry, is the workplace for many of us. Four
miles west of Rumson is Exit 109 of the Garden State Parkway, which provides easy access to other
businesses and commercial centers. Most of us, however, work locally: some at large corporate
facilities in Monmouth county. Others provide the professions and services that keep small towns vital.
