Our Mission
We are known as the "Open Door Church on the Park," where all are welcome. We are know for our warm and friendly congregation.
We communicate the Word of God from the Scriptures to ourselves and others in order to inculcate and spread our Christian faith. To attain a more happier, productive and successful life the Church encourages us to follow the commandments of our Christian faith in our personal and work activities.
In this time of cultural change we strive to offer a ministry of compassionate understanding and counsel to reduce personal and family stress and to resist the temptation of young and old into spiritually disturbing patterns of living. In doing so, we communicate the relevance of the scriptures to our day to day lives to facilitate successful marriage, child rearing and other interpersonal relationships. To those in our immediate reach who suffer in mind, body and spirit we offer support and guidance according to the scriptures.
To demonstrate to others the presence of Christ in our lives we seek deeper faith and spiritual insight through fellowship, Church programs and activities. To provide a sanctuary for comfort and joy we welcome all people as our neighbors and as children of God consistent with the teachings of the scriptures.
To these ends the Church will offer Sunday services, religious programs and social activities in a creative and inspiring form. Our Church facilities will be available for the care and education of children, weddings, funerals, community organization meetings and entertainment consistent with our mission and Christian principles.

My daughter Gail, her husband John, their daughters, Mary and I enjoyed so very much your Christmas Eve Candle Light service.
There was such a lovely gathering of people there. So many young people with little babies, probably visiting parents or grandparents.

You've found us online and we invite you to visit our church and worship with us Sunday mornings at 10:00.
We are a warm and friendly congregation and all are welcome. We are near the Long Island Expressway and Northern State Parkway on Roslyn Road. See Directions to Roslyn Presbyterian.
The Roslyn Presbyterian Church is located in historic Roslyn, NY, nestled in beautiful Roslyn Pond (Gerry) Park. Established in 1851, it has a strong foundation of nearly 170 years of ministry. The Church building includes the main sanctuary, social hall, kitchen, church offices, classrooms, and a large windowed meeting hall. The Church is wheelchair accessible.
Our voluntary Church Choir led by the Music Director, Dr. Gary de Sesa (Juilliard graduate), consists of professional and non-professional singers. Sunday School runs concurrent with church services.
We are a "boutique" church with a relatively small but loving and vibrant congregation. We experience a closeness and personal support that may not be found in a larger congregation.
Roslyn is located on the North Shore of Long Island about 20 miles from Manhattan. We draw members and friends from the diversity of our surrounding communities.
The minister oversees and conducts Church services on Sunday morning from 10:00 a.m. Our Church service is followed by a coffee/fellowship time. The Church is governed by a Session with committees and groups including: Fiscal Management/Property, Worship and Music, Christian Education, Nurture, Stewardship, Growth, Local Causes, Personnel, Nominating, and the Women's Association. Members volunteer to serve in official positions including the Clerk of Session, Treasurer, Financial Secretary, Commissioner to Presbytery, and Flower Chairperson.
The Church hosts a number of organizations including Al-Anon, Alcoholics Anonymous, Growing Tree Nursery School, and the Kalam (Taiwanese/Lutheran) Church which holds services on Sunday afternoon. Church activities have included: Easter Hat Contest, Christmas Pageant, collecting Christmas gifts for disadvantaged children, Fall and Summer Church picnics, collection of donations for the Long Island Council of Churches' Food Pantry and other missions, joint Thanksgiving service and dinner with the Kalam church, Mystery night show and dinner, mini-golf outing, and Christmas dinner.
Through the sermons and Church activities our goal is to communicate to people in the surrounding communities the importance of Christian faith in the pursuit of successful personal, professional and business lives. To meet the needs of a broad membership, our services and the music have both contemporary and traditional aspects.

BELIEFS
The sovereignty of God, the authority of Scripture, justification by grace through faith and the priesthood of all believers. What these tenets mean is that God is the supreme authority throughout the universe. Our knowledge of God and God’s purpose for humanity comes from the Bible, particularly what is revealed in the New Testament through the life of Jesus Christ. Our salvation (justification) through Jesus is God’s generous gift to us and not the result of our own accomplishments. It is everyone’s job — ministers and lay people alike — to share this Good News with the whole world. That is also why the Presbyterian church is governed at all levels by a combination of clergy and laity, men and women alike.
