HISTORY

The New York Fellowship began in 1969 with a group of businessmen meeting together for mutual spiritual encouragement. It was incorporated in 1984, adding fulltime staff, in response to executives who wanted to create a more visible Biblical presence in the Wall Street area.

A core group of friends and volunteers continue to meet regularly and share their expertise and time, which over the years has resulted in countless initiatives, including: spiritual support to professionals; many small group studies throughout the New York metropolitan area; chaplaincy to the New York professional sports teams; outreach to foreign diplomats, government leaders and NYC firefighters; grief counseling in the wake of 9-11; speaker series/special events; and internship programs for young college age men and women who desire spiritual mentoring and service to the poor.

Works of service have included outreach to at-risk inner city youth, a Kids to Camp scholarship program, feeding and housing services for the homeless, a marriage seminar series, a crisis pregnancy service, and the founding of a clinic and orphanage in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
