Family Church NYC
Family Church is located in Astoria, NYC, and our vision is simple: To build a community of faith in Astoria that is wholeheartedly committed to loving God and loving all people. Historically our church has been a place that Portuguese-speaking people have called their church family. However, today, through our English Ministry and a fresh vision to be a church that reflects the diversity of its community, we are a place for all to grow in the faith. We are glad to be able to offer this podcast so you can keep up with the sermons delivered by our pastoral care team.
