We grow in our faith by coming together. Now more than ever, as we are physically distanced, we offer many ways to connect and grow.
We value conversations about how the biblical narrative intersects with our own faith lives. Classes are facilitated by ministers and lay leaders. Please join us as we nurture and explore our spiritual lives.

Qigong & Yoga
All Are Welcome to Qigong & Yoga at First, Mondays 5:30 – 6:15 p.m.
This meditative practice is a way to enrich your spiritual life through silent prayer. Your body is like a Tree, connected to the mystery of the earth with its roots, and to the heavens with its canopy. Sitting or standing, one quiets the mind, listens to the breath, and feels the blessing of the surrounding light.

Prism - College Ministries
We are proud to partner with PRiSM, a multi-denominational, progressive Christian ministry serving young adult college and graduate students in Greenwich Village. There are several programs that may be of interest to you or a college student you know.
College Student Pantry. This is a food pantry program for college and graduate students in NYC and is run by student volunteers. The pantry is for any student in need of food. No questions asked. It is located at Trinity’s SAFH in the East Village at 602 E. 9th Street (at the corner of Ave. B) and is open the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 3-5 p.m.
PRiSM Tuesday Night Dinners held in person from 6:15-7:30 p.m.
Join students from schools around the Village on the lawn of First Church each Tuesday for a free meal, rich conversation, and prayer in community. All students are welcome!
Young Adults
The Young Adult ministry of FPC includes fellowship opportunities for 20/30s to gather for conversation and community. These casual come-as-you are, drop in events are a great way to connect with other young adults in an often anonymous big city. If you would like to be on the mailing list for this program, contact [email protected] and we will happily add you to our list.
Conversational Spanish
Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.
Brush up on your Spanish skills while learning more about the culture and history of Spanish-speaking countries. This conversational class is open to all levels and is a great way to hone your skills while spending time with First Church friends. Led by member Daniel Duque who has taught Spanish at Cornell University and The Committee on U.S.-Latin American Relations.
