Who We Are
Loving God and Neighbor in Yonkers since 1693
Coming from all walks of life we we gather to celebrate what God is doing in our lives. Our worship is liturgical and with Holy Communion each week. The preaching focuses on where faith and spirituality meet real life. We engage our faith, honest with our questions and hesitations, unafraid to challenge ourselves and others, eager to dig into the rich treasure chest of our tradition. Not a perfect church, but a real one, who asks from God the gifts we need to continue the ministry of Christ in the world.
