Isaac and I have gone a couple weeks to Calvary Chapel in North Plainfield, now meeting in the chapel of the Villa Maria on Somerset Street in North Plainfield.
It seems like a pretty standard evangelical church. They have a decent worship band, which leads the church in praise choruses. The teaching is solid, though in the services I've attended it was more expository and less application-oriented than I would prefer. (They're working on the gospel of Mark; the July 21 sermon was about the "abomination that causes desolation" mentioned in Mark 13, with a heavy emphasis on eschatology, prophecy and the Antichrist.)
The people are very friendly, they have a fairly large children's ministry in place, and it seems like an all-around decent place to go. I'm not planning to return, personally, because of the distance, but it seemed like a decent church. The chief downside right now is that no children -- not even infants -- are allowed in the chapel, under the conditions of their lease.
