Visiting Riverside? Masks Now Optional

Updated August 17, 2022

Following the latest guidelines, The Riverside Church has made wearing masks optional for all staff, tenants, guests, and visitors. We continue to update our policy based on information from New York City and the CDC; this webpage contains Riverside’s most current COVID-19 safety protocols and other information. We thank you for your cooperation.

We ask you remember that The Riverside Church is more than a church – we host many individuals currently ineligible for vaccination, including children of all ages via our Weekday School, Riverside Hawks, and youth programs. We are also a gathering place for older adults and other vulnerable populations, and the safety of our staff, tenants, visitors, and guests is our utmost priority.
