Worship Celebration
Where therapy meets Broadway
Worship at Middle Church is a joyous celebration of the transformative power of love. In worship, we rehearse the Reign of God on earth. We celebrate the sacraments both in our sanctuary and outside on the streets as activism. We express our faith in music and the arts because the arts are an active prayer connecting us with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit inspires us to new theologies and ways of living out our faith.
Join us Every Sunday at 11:45am ET 50 E. 7th Street, New York NY, 10003 or online using the link Below
Sunday Morning Worship Celebration
What to Expect in Worship
A worship celebration at Middle Church is a sacred gathering rooted in love, justice, and collective healing. Each service includes music, prayer, scripture, and preaching that speaks honestly to the world we are living in—our griefs, our hopes, and our call to repair what is broken. Our worship reflects the diversity of our community and invites people of all backgrounds to encounter God in ways that are meaningful
What Should I Wear?
There is no dress code at Middle Church. You will see people in jeans, sneakers, dresses, suits, and everything in between. We believe worship is about showing up fully as yourself, not about what you’re wearing. Come dressed in whatever makes you feel comfortable, confident, and at home.
Children, Youth & Families
Middle Church is deeply committed to creating sacred and joyful space for children and families. Our Just Love Family Programming is designed to support children’s spiritual growth while giving caregivers peace of mind during worship.
Just Love Littles (ages K–2 years old)
Just Love Kids (ages 2nd–6th grade)
Just Love Families programming is available before, during, and after worship from 10:00 AM–2:00 PM, offering trusted care and age-appropriate activities. Children are lovingly cared for by our Just Love Families Associate, Lisette, who brings warmth, attentiveness, and deep care to every child.
Our programming centers creativity, curiosity, compassion, and age-appropriate faith formation in a safe and nurturing environment. Families are always welcome to worship together, and Just Love Families programming is available as additional support for those who would like dedicated spaces and care for their children during the service.
Communion & Participation
At Middle Church, we celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of every month. The Communion table is open to all. You do not need to be a member of Middle Church or of any church to participate.
If you choose to receive Communion, you are welcome just as you are. If you prefer not to receive, that choice is fully respected. Participation in worship, including Communion, is always an invitation and never a requirement.
We believe the table is a place of grace, belonging, and shared humanity, where all are welcomed and no one is excluded.
Accessiblity & Care
We are committed to creating worship that is accessible and welcoming to all bodies, minds, and spirits. If you have specific access needs or questions, our team is always ready to help. Care for one another is central to who we are.
