Greetings All,
Rev. Mark Poyner has served as the Pastor of Community Reformed Church in Whiting, NJ since 2021. A graduate of New Brunswick Theological Seminary, he earned his Master of Divinity in 2020 and answered God’s call to ministry after a fulfilling career in business.

His background in leadership and service has deeply shaped his pastoral approach—grounded in compassion, practical wisdom, and a strong desire to walk alongside people in all seasons of life.

Whether you're new to the faith or looking for a church family, Pastor Mark welcomes you to experience God’s grace and hope here at Community Reformed Church.
