The FAC Regional Faith Network bring faith leaders together across four regions of New Jersey to ensure that local voices, local needs, and local solutions are at the center of everything the NJ Faith Action Center does.

Regional Faith Network are where the work comes alive on the ground — connecting congregations and faith communities in their own neighborhoods to resources, partnerships, and coordinated action that makes a real difference.

Each faith network is a powerful, region-specific network of faith leaders who know their communities and are positioned to mobilize them.

Central Jersey Faith Network Connecting faith leaders across Middlesex, Mercer, Union, Somerset, and surrounding counties — one of the most diverse and densely connected regions in the state.

South Jersey Faith Network Uniting congregations and faith institutions across Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, Cape May, and Atlantic counties to address the unique needs of southern New Jersey communities.
