WELCOME TO THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY
An Anglican/Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Long Island
Welcome parishioners and visitors. We extend a warm welcome to all visitors.
If you do not have a place of worship, we invite you to make NATIVITY your spiritual home.
WE ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO SERVE YOU, BUT SMALL ENOUGH TO KNOW YOU.
Our church is a mission church located at 1099 Ocean Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, at the corner of Farragut Road). We can be reached by private or public transportation. Our doors are open to people from all backgrounds who wish to join us. We are part of the Archdeaconry of Brooklyn which belongs to the Diocese of Long Island. Finally, we are members of the worldwide Anglican Communion whose titular head is the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Bishop's Committee is the governing body of the parish charged with the administration and care of the mission facilities.
Our Mission Statement
We, being transformed by the reconciling love of God in Christ, are called to share that love with each other and the world. We worship and glorify God as a community in the Anglican tradition and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through word and example.
The Nativity Prayer
O God, You make us glad by the yearly festival of the birth of your only son Jesus Christ: Grant that we, who joyfully receive him as our Redeemer, may with sure confidence behold Him when he comes to be our judge; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. Amen
