Dear Friends,

On behalf of the people of John Street United Methodist Church, welcome to the online home of the oldest Methodist congregation in the United States.

John Street Church has been at witness for God’s love in the heart of New York City since our first worship service in 1766.  In nearly two and a half centuries of ministry we have served soldiers wounded in the American Revolution, investors who lost everything in the Great Depression, and a neighborhood devastated by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.  

Today, we are a growing, diverse, and passionate community of faith in Lower Manhattan committed to loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and our neighbors as ourselves.

We’re thrilled to share a bit of our story with you through these pages.  Take your time.  Enjoy.  Send me an email.  Come back often.  You’re always welcome here.  You’re always welcome at John Street Church. 

Grace and Peace,

Rev. Jason P. Radmacher, pastor
