North American Congregations

There are approximately 200 independent Christian Community congregations worldwide, with 14 congregations in North America. Services are also held through visits to branch congregations in several additional locations.

Each Christian Community congregation is financially independent and exists through the voluntary pledges and donations of its local members. There are regional and international administrative bodies to coordinate the work at those levels.

For all of the above reasons, many congregations of The Christian Community in North America, the first of which was founded in New York City in 1948, are small and intimate. This gives individual members the possibility of greater initiative and impact. Links to North American congregations and their affiliates are listed on the left (or below if viewing on a smart phone).
