PRiSM in Greenwich Village
PRiSM is a progressive Christian campus ministry in Greenwich Village. We are college and graduate students from universities across the city with a variety of faith backgrounds, life experiences, identities and ideas. Together, we eat, pray, play, talk, learn, laugh, serve, wrestle with big questions, and work for a more just world. We boldly celebrate the identities and leadership of women and queer folks. We do our best to live out the radical, gracious love of God in Jesus Christ. If you are a college or graduate student in New York City, there is a place for you here.
PRiSM meets every Tuesday evening during the academic year for dinner, conversation, and prayer. Scroll down to learn more!

Tuesday Night Dinners
All college and graduate students are welcome to join us each Tuesday evening at 6:00pm for dinner and conversation about faith and life. We talk about all kinds of things - from scripture to student life to issues of justice and in all of it, we make space to look for God's presence in the midst of our complicated world. These dinners are a chance to rest, recharge and connect with God and community. Also, the food is free and good. We hope to see you there!
