Best 21 Churches in NY Near Bronx

Jina Yoo Love this church and grateful for its kind members! I moved to the Bronx recently and started attending FCC, and I felt loved and welcomed by the community on my first day. I also really appreciate that the sermons are firmly centered on the Bible and the gospel.

Michael D. Torres Fordham Community Church is a gospel-centered church that feasts on the unmerited love of Jesus Christ. The community is ethnically-diverse and the teaching is faithful to the Scriptures. The lead pastor, Ramny Perez, hides faithfully behind the Scriptures and ministers accurately to the church - leaving its members both humbled, yet grateful to know the reality of sin in this world, and of the God who died and resurrected on their behalf. As a member for over a year, I have personally witnessed the good fruit produced by this church: faithful marriages, authentic love for Jesus, unified community, and countless other fruits I overlook. This church has and continues to walk along not only myself, but folks in all stages of life, and I’m certain it will continue to do that for visitors and future members for years to come.

Junior Rodriguez This church has been such a blessing to my life. They are very sound in doctrine and preach the gospel of Jesus. The body is nourishing and has helped me walk in my faith. I thank God for FCC.

JOSE DAVID CANO A very good Catholic Church with a wide space, a great organ, and cool acoustic. It has a good representation of the catholic values and it transmits theme back to those who follows god.

Christine Calero Amazing church! As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable. The church is bilingual which is great for me and my family.

This is the perfect place to start your journey!

Always Solid delivery of Gods word from Pastor Mitch and such love expressed for people in our local BX Community! A must visit church in the Bronx.

Simón Beautiful church. Beautiful remodeling by a community that loves this church.

Vin B Located in the heart of the Belmont (Arthur Ave) section of the Bronx, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel continues with traditional holiday festivities. Inside you will find beautiful architecture and stained glass that has been maintained. Visit the area and enjoy the events, shop at many of the Italian specialty shops and eat at one of the wonderful restaurants. This neighborhood was depicted in the movie "A Bronx Tale" by Chazz Palminteri. Its close to Fordham University, Bronx Zoo, Bronx Botanical Gardens, Metro North and many other local bus and train routes.

Bella Dolce (ITALIANA) I literally grew up in this church I was baptized had my first holy communion and confirmation. I attended the school and my great grandparents have a pew in their name. I have seen the church go through many changes priests that I knew and loved growing up are either in heaven or other churches.

SilentPartner Ofuije (GoodFriday Michael) A church really filled with the Holy Spirit. It was my first time worshipping on 1st of November 2023 - All Saints Feast Day. The officiating priest was very vibrant, and the people, very welcoming. The choir was extremely lively.

Chrystal Tyler I attended this Church on Friday for my Sister in laws remembrance ceremony . I found the service was very rushed through it lasted about 22 mins. There was confusion over if we made a reservation to remember yet the place was empty our family were grieving. Just seemed a little disorganized yet we were the only people there for that service. Once it was over they had everyone out by 7:25 and locked the doors and fence like if they were missing an appt. Didnt feel welcoming or even inviting this what church had become.

Mely Fdez One of the best church in the bx. A peaceful places to pray. A great community. I would recommend to visit and participate to this church. Schedule of masses Saturday 5:30pm- English Children’s mass 7pm-Spanish Sunday 9am- English 11:30am- Spanish 1:30pm- Spanish Weekdays Tuesday-Friday 9am- English 7pm-Spanish

Deborah Colon The best community and church to be apart of! The people are amazing and so warm and welcoming. The leadership care about you and are available and willing to do life alongside you. I have been attending for almost a year now, and I do not regret it! I am so happy to have found a family of fellow believers that love Jesus and preach the truth with love, compassion, and humility ❤️

Adriana Diaz Throggs Neck Community Church is a place where you will be warmly welcomed and you will be presented with the Word of God through the pastors messages. You will feel Gods love and peace through worship and the service, and you will find yourself growing closer to God and others who will encourage you and cheer you on as we walk in this life together. Awesome children and adult ministries. If youre new to church, exploring churches to find a church home and church family, or just curious to see a church that loves Jesus and wants Him to be the hero of our faith, our words and our actions come and visit! :)

Rafael Alsina Jr Ive been attending TNCC since January of 2018. During that time Ive become an usher and was Baptized in June 2018. The Church has everything you need for your spiritual Growth. Come join us and receive the Gift of Life [ Salvation ].

Ron Nussle In 1947 I was confirmed here. Plus I went to school here. Id like to say I miss the nuns but Id be fibbing because their wooden Coca Cola rulers didnt miss the back of my hands. LOL.

William Maldonado Solid grounding in reading , math, art and music appreciation. Closing this year.

Jacqueline Benabe Is beautiful in the inside, very peaceful. I did my 1st confirmation there in mercy divine Sunday. I am going to start in September, my communion. I am so happy.I started coming to this church.

David This place is truly beautiful and green. Getting here wasn’t the easiest — it had its ups and downs. At one point, it was easy to get lost and accidentally end up at the zoo instead of the university! But once you finally enter, it feels like stepping into paradise. Peaceful, full of nature, and surrounded by that calm academic energy that every great university has. Its just the perfect place to study — no other way to say it.

Dan Zena One of my favorite churches in NYC. Its right in the Fordham University campus in the Bronx and its such a refugee from all the chaos that is Fordham Road. This church is open 24/7 but you can only get here if you can access the campus. Thankfully, I have worked here and do work here occasionally so I always take the time to stop here and pray, meditate, ground myself, and take some much-needed stress out of my soul. Its usually very quiet with little-to-no people here on the hours there isnt mass. I did notice theres a good amount of people who tend to pass through around the late morning and early afternoon hours. However, its not a tourist spot so people usually come here to pray or check the church out. The best time to come here is late nights are super early mornings if you can do that. Either way though, its a beautiful church thats one of the more quiet and isolated churches. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Tom Keane Attended the annual Festival of Lessons and Carrolls at beautiful Fordham University Church. A family tradition to get us into the TRUE meaning of the Christmas season. Wonderful program by the student choral groups, Bronx Arts Ensemble...and Fordham President Tania Tetlow.

Ediberto Perez I was baptize in John 3;16. My greatest encounter with God was there. Pastor Cleofe was very wise I missed him so much. His teachings and guidance was of full testimony. I installed the phone system and security system. This is the Church if you want to grow spiritually.

Santos Jose (Dapsteroc) I had the greatest spiritual experiences , in this Christian Church John 3:16 on Westchester Ave and Prospect Street in Da Bronx*New York City, Excepted on this Dreadful day September 14 2021, We Was There, (Unfortunately) For My Lil Brother Alexanders Santos A-K-A (Alemo)* Funeral Services"!!!!

Jonathan Ortiz Hands down the top church in the world. If you need help finding God, learning how to talk to God, if you simply need a hug, this is your home. A well established ministry that has services throughout the week and has activities for the entire family. From family and prayer services throughout the week to our daily bread on Sundays starting at 10 am, you will come out Gods house renewed!

rod jaglal Fordham Manor has truly transformed my life, as well as the lives of many others who attend. If youre new to Christianity or simply seeking to grow in your faith, I highly recommend this church. The community here is warm, supportive, and grounded in love. Ive been blessed not only by the powerful teachings but also by the meaningful events and genuine connections Ive made.

Eileen Vazquez Fordham Manor Church is home and house of Prayer keeping the atmosphere positive and peaceful most of all welcoming to anyone and everyone looking for a place of Refuge Love it.

Nicolas Veintimilla Family If youre looking for a healthy doctrine, and has many questions about who god is. This is one of the perfect places to start. Personally, I started this searching for years, just looking for the right church to connect with my beliefs. I had many questions, and since day one this church and its people changed my life.

Jo “Sweetjo” St. Lucy is such a beautiful church. I’ve been coming here since I was a child, People come from everywhere to see and collect holy water from the Grotto, Be sure to bring an empty bottle or purchase rosary’s or other gifts from the shop inside.

George Joseph - Photos by Josef A beautifully designed Church. The environment is inviting and very peaceful and comfortable for any type of prayer or service. The clergy staff is top notch. They have a unique ability 2 apply the teachings up the Bible to the modern day people and issues. The support staff is very helpful and I found this to be a fantastic experience in every way. If you need a place to pray or clergy to speak with I highly recommend St Lucie Roman Catholic Church.

R M (Mara) I am 62 yrs old. Started coming here when I was a child. My mother loved this place. She used to say she felt peaceful after every visit. I agree.

Peace Dove A very beautiful church where we attended Spanish Mass for The Spanish speaking community in this area. They came out in large numbers because of Independence Day celebrations and the public holidays. The Spanish community here is very devoted. After the 9am mass that lasted about 40mins we had exposition of the Blessed Sacrament to last till 12 noon. They have large enough space for parking and wheelchair accessible parking lot and steps at the church entrance but the church has wheelchair accessible entrance by the side facing the road through the Sacristy.

Sandy Lopez The priest is very nice and super sweet. The people there are too and the mass is super organized and well done. The alter is always nicely decorated. I come here every week and it’s always a joy coming there.

Joel Arroyo Thanks to Padre Jose for the great experience on the aptism of my 2 daughters

Lissette Rivera I had a very unwelcoming experience here on more than one occasion. The Centro Carismatico Ushers are very rude—one man argued with me before getting into the confessional on one occasion because my mask was not up to his standards (yes, it was a standard cloth mask that covered my mouth and nose. I did not take it off once. I also sanitized. He argued that it didn’t go up high enough for his liking to cover my nose completely and tried to prevent me from entering the confessional. The priest said I was fine and there was no problem. On another occasion, I came to church and stepped out before Mass started because I came early to do my rosary, but the upcoming Mass was in Spanish (I prefer English). The ushers told me I could not leave the church because Mass was beginning soon. What? Since when am I forced to stay inside a church? The ushers are very unwelcoming. Over time, this parish has become very clique-y. If you’re not very charismatic, you won’t feel like you fit in, and the church doesn’t do much outreach to support those who are not into that. I have no problems with the priests—they are all wonderful. However, ushers and workers there need lessons on how to approach parishioners and talk to them like people.

Richie Outerbridge I stay the weekends in the Bronx sometimes to help a friends family and I need to come to this church sometimes so I dont miss mass. I love Mass at my church in Staten Island, very traditional and conservative. And this is a really nice switch and to feel the Lord with different people, different music... and everyone is nice & polite. Such a needed haven to strengthen your faith and spiritually armor yourself against... I guess the demonic madness our elected officials dont care about. But God does.

HG Retsucat Beautiful church

S RR Beautiful church considering the maintenance done on a 1904 church. I wish more was invested within the church and the school, as well as, the staff. They need more resources and its a great gem for the community.

ANA Ana I have been coming to this church since I was a child did my sacraments here and got married on 2015 a very welcoming community I baptized both of my daughters here.

D W The English choir is actually not acceptable. I think that they should have some of the children sing rather than have adults who are willing but not able. I resent the notion that when we enter into the parish to serve God, anything we offer is acceptable and standards are cast to the wind. Also they need to redo the floors under the pews. I also do not like the fact that they insist on celebrating peoples birthdays for the week at the end of every mass, that becomes tedious and campy, besides more singing ensues. Oh, and while I am being charitable in my own special way, they need to have a better organized method of receiving the Eucharist, people form a line up to the middle of the parish in the middle aisle then return down the same aisle forcing the remaining people on the line to veer to one side or the other or bump into each other.

Stephanie Rodriguez My experience here has been amazing! God fearing people full of love and fellowship. Pastor Ray and pastor Persis are beautiful people! Their love for everyone just radiates off of them each time. They are about the community and discipleship. Jesus based sermons every time and you will always recognize them by their fruit. The Lord is truly in LTF. May God continue to bless them!

Thomas G. Peters An excellent place of worship where the love of God is expressed and exercised. This is a place of worship built on the word of God and having a relationship with Him and others. Living out the scripture as an Acts 2:42-47 church is their goal. Knowing and loving God, loving people and serving the community. A church that prays, fast, fellowships and follows the word of God and adhering to His voice and direction. I recommend this place of worship .

tammy colon Come as you are. Theres no judgment here. N Pastor Ray is the best!! God is definitely here!!!

John Iazzetti St. Barnabas is a large, vibrant parish with something for everyone. (The bulletin is a little drab but that’s nothing) Masses have good attendance, collections seem to be generous, funding the many parish activities. The parish is also home to a large Irish population and no surprise, they are very friendly and welcoming. I go to mass here because they have a 7:30am Sunday mass which is very convenient for an early riser. It’s a bit out of the way for me otherwise I would consider it my parish.

Joseph Aiello Jr. Its a beautiful church, recently renovated for its 2011 centennial. And it has the largest pipe organ in the Bronx. A great experience in a real neighborhood!

Bryan Velazquez On Saturday, March 19, we attended the McLean Avenue St. Patrick’s Day parade mass and Irish celebration. I must say that the environment and atmosphere were both very peaceful and welcoming. A very special thank you to the organizers, priest, and of course all of the church members who make this spectacular day possible. Blessings to each and everyone of you!

Jo-Anne Polykarpous This church is very lucky to have such a wonderful priest in Father Thomas Derivan. He is so warm and makes the church extra inviting.

Anita T Sweet little church, very simple and extremely tranquil. The priest we had for our service was wonderful

Victoria Caggiano We attended mass at this church for my great nephews baptism and I dont recall ever being in this church although Ive lived in the Bronx all of my life but I have to say it was a very beautiful ceremony and mass and the church was beautiful and they even had a cute little gift shop in the back of it which I bought this nice little saint statue from and it look like it was in the nice area so they did a good job in choosing this particular church for his baptism.

Luis Aviles-Solano Best Catholic church in the south bronx

Dewayne Alicia Jackson I was baptized here. I made my First Holy Communion here. I ate farina with Father Stanley & the sisters in the rectory. Summer camp! Those were the days. I grew up in this church. My brothers attended the catholic school. Looking through the photos made me teary. God, I love this church. Thank you for the trip back. #childhoodmemories70s #SouthBronx

L P Beautiful intimate church, spanish/English mass, sisters of charity help there

Ashanti Capri From the first service my Husband and myself have been welcomed into the All Saints Church family. Every Sunday the service is amazing. Amazing singing, great prayers, amazing people.

We have been going there consistently for 3 weeks straight and on Sunday we look forward to going to this church. Come as you are! They will welcome you. Let’s be the change the Bronx needs.

Carmen De La Cruz From day one All Saints Church made me feel so welcomed that I chose them as my church. Pastor Hoke and his staff have the most amazing relationship and therefore it reflects on their service. Great service, friendly, down to earth, come as you are, kind of vibe. Did I mentioned they always have coffee, donuts and fruit salad. I love growing with All Saints Church.

Nat Perez Pastor Hoke is an amazing man of God. I am honored to call All Saints my home church, I also serve at the church. I believe God is moving in the Bronx and the Holy Spirit is well, Strong and Alive here. Everyone at All Saints is heartwarming, kind and caring.
