History In 1973, a few New Jersey Sikh families had a desire to have a Gurudwara near their towns, and held a few meetings. In 1974 the GSSA (Garden State Sikh Association) was incorporated as a Sikh Association with its own charter, by-laws and tax exempt status as a religious non-profit organization. The small group started Path and Kirtan in members’ home. In 1979, the present 13 acre Bridgewater property with a small house was purchased. In 1984, construction started to build a Darbar hall.

The congregation attendance grew in the next few decades and soon there was a need to expand. In July 2002, GSSA got approval from the township to start construction. In 2008, construction was complete for a new Darbar hall, kitchen, a new Langar hall, restrooms and several rooms. The old Darbar hall was converted to the Khalsa School and Library.
