CCC In the News
Read about CCC in The New York Daily News:
On Sunday March 27, 2011, The New York Daily News ran a terrific story about Chelsea Community Church. We were delighted -- even though they only ran it in their Bronx Edition. You'd think that The Daily News would know that Chelsea is miles from the Bronx! CCC, always hopeful, looks forward to any visitors from the Bronx — or for that matter from The Daily News!

Our Mission Statement

An independent, non-denominational, lay-led Christian congregation, Chelsea Community Church is not a building but a people. We offer a supportive environment for people of all faiths and uncertain faith:

TO ENABLE each individual to define personal religious beliefs,

TO WORSHIP in prayer, music, reading and interpretation of Scripture with speakers from a variety of backgrounds,

TO NURTURE each other in spiritual growth, while respecting and accepting a diversity of beliefs,

TO SHARE with and support each other in the daily and extraordinary events of our lives,

TO HELP those in need both inside and outside our congregation.

We welcome anyone to worship with us and become part of our extended Christian family.
