The Newark Christian Center was formerly known as the Pentecostal Church of God of Newark. According to a sign outside of the chapel, church members are dedicated to "loving God with a passion." New pastor Fred Hansen says the spacious chapel space not only allows plenty of natural light to shine inside, but it also has good acoustics for spiritual music.
The Newark Christian Center offers English and Spanish-language worship services. The church also rents out part of its space to a separate day-care operation. Pastor Hansen says he plans on starting new ministry programs in 2011. The church's main parking lot is temporarily closed due to construction on the Hetch Hetchy water system.
