Downey Avenue is an open-minded, inter-generational congregation with a shared commitment to work for social justice, care for creation, and celebrate the rich diversity of Gods’ people. Our shared mission is to be “Transformed by God’s radical love to build a welcoming church, a just community, and a sustainable world.”

As one of the fastest-growing congregations in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we welcome people of all beliefs and backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, political preferences, or religious beliefs — focusing instead on what brings us together: the infinite love of God for all people.

Serving the Irvington community since 1875, Downey has continually found new ways to respond to a witness of social justice and compassion in our community and around the world.
