I had hoped to be able to see the view from near the top of the tower but the elevator only stops at certain floors. It would have been nice to see more inside but what we did see was beautiful.

This has got to be my favourite church ever. It’s absolutely stunning from the outside, I’ve performed inside and the atmosphere is just outstanding. The picture will speak for itself, please pay a visit if it’s interests you, it’s worth it.

It's a shame Riverside Church's Council is overruling its socially conscious congregation to avoid them voting to stop the closure of its 95 year old pre-k Weekday School - the words and actions of this church sadly do not align anymore. The Church Council prefers...Read More
