About




We are a congregation of American Baptist Tradition, living our faith in the City of Elmira, NY., seeking the welfare of the city we live in, we live and believe in Our Lord's promise  to find our welfare in Elmira's welfare. (Jeremiah 29).

Our Christ-Centered worship infused with the Holy Spirit, is shaped by the scriptural word, by vibrant music, by our service to others and by the prayerful opening of our hearts and minds into God... 

Through Worship, Music, Christian Education, Ministries, Missions, Special Services, Our Shared Life, and Our Staff, we seek weekly to live out, and into, our Christian calling of sharing  the Lord’s love with all.
