  • Second Presbyterian Church Mission Study Report
    Second Presbyterian Church Mission Study Report Approved by the Session: November 19, 2020 Submitted to the Commission on Ministry: November 24, 2020 Table of Contents Introduction 1 Mission Study Team 1 The Mission Review Process 1 History 2 Congregational Demographics 3 Who We Are 6 Congregational Leadership and StaffinG 7 Worship and Fellowship 10 Church Facilities 12 Finances 13 Neighborhood and Community 15 Communication and Outreach 20 ChallenGes Ahead 21 ExplorinG a New Mission 21 Conclusion – ForGinG New Paths 22 Introduction Second Presbyterian Church presents its mission study report, prepared by its mission study team and based on congregation-wide surveys, meetings, and discussions. This interim period has allowed the church to reflect on the gifts and spirit of this community, the challenges today of being Church, especially a small church, and most importantly, where God is calling us to be, made all the more clear as we experience the effects of a global pandemic. During this period of transition, Second Church finds itself at a crossroads. Due to a property agreement, it has completed long-deferred building upgrades. At the same time, it is assessing the prospects of its aging church building, which is not ADA-compliant, to serve our mission and be a welcoming place. Additionally, the church is in the process of ending its legal and financial relationship with the elementary school that the church has run for 230 years. The Alexander Robertson School is becoming a separate not for profit entity, no longer run by the church but continuing to operate within the church building at no charge.

    A collection of 13 one-of-a-kind residences. 555 West End Avenue is a residential project without equal in New York City. Inside a spectacular and meticulously restored architectural gem is an entirely new structure designed by Tamarkin Co. Magnificent three- to five-bedroom residences bring together the best elements of prewar co-ops, condominiums, urban lofts, and townhouses— extraordinary volumes of space with gracious floor plans and impeccable detailing. Located one block from Riverside Park and surrounded by the grand apartment houses of West End Avenue, 555 West End Avenue’s historic Beaux-Arts architecture has character, authenticity, and an old-world sense of craftsmanship and detail that rivals the most exclusive cooperatives on Riverside Drive and Central Park West. A Distinguished Architectural History Its original incarnation as a private school has enriched 555 West End Avenue, a recognizable landmark within the Riverside-West End Historic District, with outstanding architecture, soaring ceiling heights, towering windows, and a physically robust structure. Completed in 1908, the redbrick and limestone building was designed by architect William A. Boring in the English Collegiate Gothic style. Tamarkin Co. has maintained the spirit of the building’s unique history, impeccably restoring original details like beautifully carved stone façade elements and limestone window bays and weaving architecturally sumptuous spaces into brand-new residences with exceptional character and extraordinary volume and scale. → A historical photograph of the former school building soon after completion in 1908. The Residences The residences of 555 West End Avenue are like nothing Manhattan has ever seen. Nearly every one of the extraordinary three- to five-bedroom homes—no more than two per floor—has a unique floor plan.

Take actress Christina Hendricks and her husband, actor Geoffrey Arend, who are trying to sell their one-bedroom at Hell’s Kitchen’s Parc Vendome Christina Hendricks Actress amid their divorce. The couple purchased the apartment in 2015 for $1.16 million and have listed it for $1.25 million with Halstead’s Don Correia. Singer Zayn Malik is moving on as well: The former One Direction member recently unloaded his four-bedroom SoHo penthouse for $9.45 million—$1.25 million less than what he paid for it in 2018. Speaking of “one direction,” Malik also took a $160,000 loss on his Los Angeles compound when he sold it a few months ago. (He bought the place for $3.1 Zayn Malik Singer million in 2015.) Model Karlie Kloss had a good seven-year run with her two-bedroom West Village apartment, but the newlywed recently parted ways with it A Star Is Torn Lady Gaga couldn’t for $2.75 million, netting a tidy profit. Even commit to this slick longtime New Yorker Meryl Streep didn’t $18 million Chelsea stick it out for the long haul: After 13 years, townhouse, so she just rented it instead.
