Everybody needs a place.
We invite you to make this place yours.
St. Bart’s is a celebrated Manhattan landmark, home to a historic Episcopal congregation and a beacon of faith and inclusiveness for people of all faiths. Here is a place that is ancient and new, and what we do is often based on really ancient patterns—worship and music; loving service to the poor, the hurting, the lonely; working for justice and peace; lively, fearless education and formation of minds and souls. And that faith is also completely contemporary, engaged in the culture and the needs of the moment.
Our mission is to comfort, challenge and inspire a growing community of people in search of meaning and hope in their lives.
We embrace a performing arts venue, an active social service center, a pre-school, athletic facility, and a popular restaurant.
