The Federated Church of Livingston represents the union of The Olivet United Church of Christ and The Livingston Baptist Church; they were joined in 1976. While both congregations share facilities, a pastor and some mission work, the two congregations are separate in membership and other denominational responsibilities.
This church is one of only five dually aligned American Baptist-United Church congregations in New Jersey, maintaining the traditions of both denominations and their similar heritages. Both churches are liberal, choose their own pastors, believe in social justice and cherish flexibility. Leslie E. Martin is the pastor.
