9am 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. In our worship we strive to capture these qualities, being faithful to the ancient worship patterns of Christian peoples, relevant to living lives of purpose and meaning in a modern, fast-paced city like New York.

Join us at 9AM for an intimate service with Holy Communion celebrated weekly.

Confirmation Class Meeting
Apr

Confirmation Class Meeting

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.

Beloved Community: Anti-Racism Circle

Beloved Community: Anti-Racism Circle

A Christ Church Circle for the Ongoing Work of Dismantling Racism

This new circle in the life of Christ Church will meet virtually each month to create a virtual space for conversation, discernment, reflection, and prayer related to the perpetually-urgent work of dismantling racism in all of its forms. Facilitated by Katherine Ellington (a member of Christ Church), Tyler Heston and Eric Park (our church’s clergy), and Brandon Batson (our church’s Director of Communication and Program), “Beloved Community” will be a welcoming environment in which participants are invited to connect with one another over important subject matter. In our first few monthly sessions (February, March, and April), our conversation will focus on the book “White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity” by Robert P. Jones. During the next three sessions (May, June, and July), our conversation will focus on the book “Pre-Post-Racial America: Spiritual Stories from the Front Lines” by Sandhya Rani Jha. We encourage interested participants to purchase these books and to begin reading “White Too Long” in preparation for February 20.

NOTE: The concept of “beloved community,” originated by philosopher Josiah Royce and contextualized by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., refers to a way of being in which everyone is valued, cared for, and protected from mistreatment. We are committed to making certain that this new virtual circle reflects the “Beloved Community” that the Gospel of Jesus envisions.

Confirmation Class Meeting

Confirmation Class Meeting

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.

Beloved Community: Anti-Racism Circle

Beloved Community: Anti-Racism Circle

A Christ Church Circle for the Ongoing Work of Dismantling Racism

This new circle in the life of Christ Church will meet virtually each month to create a virtual space for conversation, discernment, reflection, and prayer related to the perpetually-urgent work of dismantling racism in all of its forms. Facilitated by Katherine Ellington (a member of Christ Church), Tyler Heston and Eric Park (our church’s clergy), and Brandon Batson (our church’s Director of Communication and Program), “Beloved Community” will be a welcoming environment in which participants are invited to connect with one another over important subject matter. In our first few monthly sessions (February, March, and April), our conversation will focus on the book “White Too Long: The Legacy of White Supremacy in American Christianity” by Robert P. Jones. During the next three sessions (May, June, and July), our conversation will focus on the book “Pre-Post-Racial America: Spiritual Stories from the Front Lines” by Sandhya Rani Jha. We encourage interested participants to purchase these books and to begin reading “White Too Long” in preparation for February 20.

NOTE: The concept of “beloved community,” originated by philosopher Josiah Royce and contextualized by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., refers to a way of being in which everyone is valued, cared for, and protected from mistreatment. We are committed to making certain that this new virtual circle reflects the “Beloved Community” that the Gospel of Jesus envisions.
