Reunion Church — Attraction in New York

Before coming to Reunion, I wanted a community so badly. I thought NYC was just a lonely city and I had to be okay with that. Winter of 2023, I watched one of Reunions sermon on YouTube and thought “they seem cool”. The next week, I walked into Reunion and it changed my life. My very first day, I met the kindest people who opened their home to me and my partner — cozy dinner parties, movie nights, volunteering opportunities, Bible studies focused on community (called Community Groups), Lent services before the work day. Within in the year, I couldn’t believe how many incredible people had come into my life from this church. I’ve never experienced anything like Reunion but it can’t be attributed to anything than the kind pretense of Jesus every time we all gather. I feel included, loved, and spiritually kindled. I am motivated to learn about Jesus with space to come to community groups with my question and doubts and imperfections.

What’s even more incredible is the pastor and his family have brought me and my partner into their circle and are there when we need them. I’m telling you right now. If you are crying out for incredible community that motivates you to persue faith in Jesus, you will love Reunion. I’m so thankful for every single...

I moved to NYC last August from the deep south where I attended what could probably be considered a mega church. When I moved, I started going to Reunion with the intent to try out different churches in the city. On my very first day at Reunion, I started to rush out of service when the pastor, Russel, stopped me and said "You're new. I want to talk to you." After that, something just kept bringing me back to Reunion and I've now been going there for 8 months.

Reunion for me is a place that truly embodies the biblical definition of a church: it's not a building, it's not a platform - it's people. I realized I kept coming back over and over because of how kind, genuine, and caring the people were. I've been able to connect with people all over the city through Reunion. I also feel like Reunion has been so healthy for me on my spiritual journey and has given me space to deconstruct many of the legalistic viewpoints I had. I would encourage anyone looking for a church home to come and give...

I started stepping into faith and got my first Bible in 2018, yet I still consider myself a relatively new Christian. I’ve now attended many church services all around the world, and I must say that Reunion offers something special. Intelligent and relevant sermons rooted in Jesus and Scripture, kind staff, various opportunities to serve within NYC, a willingness to pray for anyone/anytime, talented musicians, childcare during service, fun celebrations and more. I like the way they do things. I have made many friendships, deepened my faith and understanding, discovered lots of great music and I got baptized with Russel/Reunion, at the beach! My wife and I have been coming in for more than a year...
