New Jersey Governor Appoints Mt. Olivet Pastor to Commission

Chris Christie, New Jersey governor, recently appointed Joseph Thelusca, pastor of the Mt. Olivet church in Neptune, N.J., to serve as a member of the New Jersey Commission on National and Community Service.

"My involvement in the commission brings a sense of diversity and necessary representation for our urban communities throughout the state. My main desire is to bridge the gap between various local, nonprofit community entities to the many funding opportunities that are available through the commission,” says Thelusca.

Thelusca’s current term extends until May 14, 2017.
