About The River

The River is a progressive church, located in Midtown Manhattan, where faith and community continually intertwine in delightful ways. 

​In-person attendees come from all five boroughs of New York City, New Jersey, and Westchester County, though people from around the country (and the world!) regularly tune into our services on YouTube Live.

WHAT WE'RE ABOUT

Church for different faiths in Manhattan.
The River exists to help people strengthen their connections (to God, self, others, creation, and the world around us), more deeply embody unconditional love (Agape), and become more fully alive (John 10:10). Our pursuit of vibrant, inclusive, life-giving faith is guided by five core values: Diversity, Unconditionality, Good Fruit, Positive Difference, and Learning Posture.
