John Street United Methodist Church is a progressive, all‑ages Christian church in downtown NYC.
Steps away from Fulton Center and the World Trade Center, we have members from Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. But we especially serve the Financial District, Pace University, Chinatown, Lower East Side, Tribeca and Battery Park City.
Since the American Revolution, we've welcomed visitors to New York to our Sunday worship.
Downtown and Wall Street workers have loved the music at our 30-minute lunchtime Wonderful Wednesday for years. And now our museum is open for history‑lovers on weekdays too!

It's traditional, but simple. We sing hymns from the 19th and 20th century to piano accompaniment. Sermons are grounded in Biblical exegesis and useful stories from the present and our church's past. Everything is unmemorized and printed in a bulletin or hymnal. It's usually less than an hour long.
Dress ranges from jeans to suits. Most Sunday visitors come in the midst of a day spent exploring the World Trade Center and Battery Park. So, don't worry: please come as you are!
Children are welcome in our Sunday school (for ages 4+) or with their parents in our Sunday worship service. We also have changing facilities and a quiet room for younger children.
