John Street United Methodist Church

I was in NYC on vacation and I had been wanting to check this place out. It's the oldest Methodist congregation in the United States. Pastor Stefani was very welcoming and gave us a tour of the church when we arrived. The service was wonderful with amazing music and a powerful message. Also, it was evident that this was a church that welcomes and cares for everyone. I hope to make it back to John Street UMC next time I am in NYC.

I have attended John Street United Methodist Church for six years. It is a loving home for visitors and New Yorkers alike! The services are beautiful and they always reinvigorate me for the week ahead!

I have been a member of John Street for two years. I love the church's unique history that is tied to both Methodism and New York City. To anyone considering joining us during the 11 AM Sunday services - we would be happy to have you and show you around the Museum after the service.

Wow! It was a horrible experience today. I have been going there for 30 years and have never had an experience like that. There was a new pastor that I had never seen before, and he turned it into a political debate/his gay confession. People go to church seeking help; they are in desperate situations, and this guy is talking about who he is sleeping with and reading his love letters from 20 years ago?! They must have lost their minds. He should go to therapy before preaching in church. All I heard is 'I am gay', 'save our LGBTQ+ children', 'it's all republican's fault'. Wow. It was all about him. Irrelevant, ignorant, vulgar. I prayed for my parents who recently passed away and left. It was like a slap in the face.
