Going Boldly into God’s New World
COMMIT TO CHRIST CHURCH FOR 2026
COMMITMENT SUNDAY: NOVEMBER 16, 2025 AT BOTH SERVICES
OUR COMMUNITY
Christ Church is a community centered in love of God and neighbor, unconditional welcome and generosity. Throughout the years Christ Church has been a safe haven for all those who seek after the heart of God, while providing both financial and sweat equity for needful persons and communities.
Going Boldly Into
God’s New World
Commitment Sunday at Christ Church NYC is an annual moment of boldly stepping forward in faith, trust, and shared purpose. This year, as we embrace the theme “Going Boldly into God’s New World,” we recognize that our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness are not just personal acts of meaning—together, they become the fuel that moves this community into what God is calling us to next. Commitment Sunday is our chance to name that future, to step toward it with courage, and to say in faith: we’re all in.
IN 2026 . . .
In 2026, we want to be the kind of church community in which expectant generosity is the norm and not the exception. We know that God is preparing and equipping us for expansive, creative, and transformative ministry in the next year . Through the practice of expectant generosity, we have the wherewithal to realize our full potential in the ministry of providing outstanding programing, compassionate and high-impact service to the community, and funding new initiatives that help to welcome and mobilize the next generation of disciples.
