Summer 10am Sunday Service
Worship at Christ Church is shaped by the splendor and grandeur of our sanctuary, which befits the splendor and grandeur of the God we worship through Jesus Christ. While ancient in appearance, our sanctuary is alive and vibrant with color and imagery.

Join us at our 10AM service for corporate worship featuring a sermon, powerful music, and Holy Communion..

Confirmation Sunday
Christ Church NYC is excited to offer a Confirmation Class starting in December for youth ages twelve through sixteen. This program will invite young folk into regular meetings from December through May in which they will learn about the fundamentals of Christian faith, the history and values of the United Methodist Church, and what it means to be a member of Christ Church. Through Confirmation Class, participants will get to know better each other, themselves, and their faith through community-building games, service projects, and opportunities to learn and discuss along with other leaders and adults in the church community.
What is Confirmation? Confirmation is the ritual in which someone who has been baptized professes their belief in Jesus Christ and “confirms” their intention to live a life molded around the love and grace of God. For teenagers who were baptized as a baby, confirmation creates a sacred space for them to affirm their faith as their own and to begin articulating what their faith and church means to them.
This year’s Confirmation Class will be led by Rev. Tyler Heston along with other CCNYC staff and leaders. Each participant will be paired with a “sponsor” member of the church who will journey through Confirmation Class with them as a mentor and friend. More information about schedule and official registration will be available by November 1.

A Faith Worth Having: Spring 2025
Spring 2025 Small Groups at Christ Church NYC
Tuesdays, April 29 – May 20, from 6:30-7:30pm, online
Join us for an engaging online small group that connects Bible study to deep conversation about faith, spirituality, and real life. All are welcome! For our Spring 2025 series of A Faith Worth Having, we will journey through a practice of Lectio Divina, an ancient contemplative approach to scripture. Each week, we’ll learn a new approach to Lectio Divina before engaging in the practice together.

Faith Forum: Reconciling 101
Faith Forum: Reconciling 101
Sundays, May 4, 11, 18, 25, at 10:00am
Christ Church is a Reconciling Congregation of the United Methodist Church, meaning that we are committed to LGBTQ+ justice and full inclusion. Reconciliation is not a one-time commitment, but an ongoing process of being transformed by the gifts and perspectives of queer folk in and outside of the church. This May, join us for a special series of Faith Forum on Sundays, May 4, 11, 18, and 25, that will be a chance to learn about what it means to be reconciling and about the gifts that LGBTQ+ folk have to offer our community of faith. Led by Rev. Tyler Heston.
