Broadway United Church of Christ, Congregationalist church on West 71st Street, Upper West Side, Manhattan, US
Broadway United Church of Christ is a stone church building located between Amsterdam Avenue and Columbus Avenue on the Upper West Side. The structure houses a congregation that meets regularly for worship and community gatherings.
The congregation began in 1831 as the Second Free Presbyterian Church before becoming a Congregational church in 1840. This shift reflected a change in religious approach and how the community engaged with its neighborhood.
The congregation serves as a gathering place where community concerns and social causes are discussed openly with members. You can sense this commitment to local engagement throughout the building and its programs.
The building is easily accessible from the Upper West Side and near public transportation options. Visitors should check ahead for worship times and any community events that might be taking place during their visit.
The building now partners with Advent Lutheran Church next door, creating a shared religious space between two congregations. This collaboration allows both groups to support each other's ministry and community work.
